Respuesta :

In the given image, we can see two differently colored spheres joined together to form a combination and there are 5 such combinations.If each small sphere represents an atom, then each combination represents a molecule of a compound. This is because an element contains only similar type of atoms. A compound contains two or more different types of atoms.

Therefore, the figure is a molecule and a compound.

For this reason,  statement B is true.
