    Water as it is made from hydrogen and oxygen

    Gold is an element so not a compound

    Sand is a mixture of elements

    Iodine isnt a compound

    Water

    Explanation:

    A compound can be defined as the bonding of two or more atoms, where at least two are different types of atoms. That is, they are atoms from more than one element. Water fits this definition as it is the bonding between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with chemical formula H2O. Iodine and gold are elements and therefore are only single atoms. Sand is classified as a mixture and therefore is not the correct option.
