Which is an element? Well, that's the hardest proposition........

Explanation:

As far as we know #"B is a liquid."# #"D is an ion"#. #"C"# is probably a gas (e.g. #CO_2#). Presumably, #"A"# contains only the one type of particle, i.e. the one type of atom, and could thus be classified as an element.
