The correct statement that the student can support with her pictures is:
**An element is made of a single type of atom, and a compound is made of two or more atoms.**
This accurately describes the fundamental difference between elements and compounds, as elements consist of only one type of atom, while compounds consist of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together. The other statements are incorrect or misleading regarding the nature of elements and compounds.
