The best choice that 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 accurately describes air as a mixture of gases (like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.) that retain their individual properties, and water as a compound (H2O) formed from hydrogen and oxygen elements.
