The substance that is an element composed of molecules is **hydrogen (H₂)**.
Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule, meaning it exists as pairs of hydrogen atoms (H₂) when it is in molecular form. The other options listed (helium, methane, and water) do not fit the description of an element. Helium is a noble gas and exists as individual atoms, while methane and water are compounds made up of different elements.
