C.) Polyatomic ionic

Polyatomic ionic

Explanation:

A compound is polyatomic if it has more than one atoms.

Here the given compound has one copper, one sulfur and four oxygen atoms so it is polyatomic.

The other feature of the compound is presence of ionic bond (the bond formed by complete transfer of electrons / acceptance of electrons).

Here the compound will dissociate into copper ions and sulfate ion

Hence we can define it as polyatomic ionic compound.
