Answer:
b) Silicon and oxygen
Explanation:
A compound is a pure substance that contains two or more atoms chemically joined together. Sand is regarded as a 'compound' because it is made up of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded to one another.
Sand is said to predominantly contain silica, which has a chemical formula of SiO2. Hence, sand can be said to be a compound containing one atom of silicon (Si) and two atoms of oxygen (O2).
