(a)
Interpretation:
The name for the given element
Concept introduction:
Element: It is chemical species of atoms that has the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei. Elements are chemically the simplest substance and they cannot be broken down by chemical reactions.
Compound: A compound is substance that is formed by two or more chemical elements when they are chemically bonded together.
