Answer 2

The liquid contains only one element is the correct statement.

• In the given question, it is clearly mentioned that the liquid is made up of only one type of atom.
• Now, a single compound is also made up of multiple atoms.
• Neutral electrons cannot be considered as an atom.
• Simpler substances (plural) will also contain multiple atoms.
• But, a single element will only contain a single atom and that's why it's the correct answer.
