the correct answer is b. possesses the characteristic of compartmentalization of organelles, wherein the organelles are bound by membranes.

explanation:

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.
