The best choice that accurately compares air and water is:

Air is a mixture of two or more components that keep their own identifying properties, while water is composed of elements that combine forming a compound.

This statement correctly identifies air as a mixture (of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.) and water as a compound (H₂O) formed by the chemical combination of hydrogen and oxygen.
