The correct answer is **d. element, molecule, pure substance**.
- **Element**: Oxygen (O) is an element, and O₂ is a diatomic molecule of that element.
- **Molecule**: O₂ is a molecule because it consists of two atoms of oxygen bonded together.
- **Pure substance**: O₂ is considered a pure substance since it has a uniform composition throughout.
The other options do not accurately describe oxygen gas specifically.
