B Carbon dioxide (CO2)
C Ozone (O3)
Correct Answer
D Glucose (C6H12O6)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ozone (O3) is a molecule because it consists of three oxygen atoms chemically bound together. However, it is not a compound because it is composed of only one element (oxygen). Water, carbon dioxide, and glucose all contain atoms of different elements, making them compounds.

Hint

A compound must contain at least two different elements.
