B. They are made up of atoms or groups of atoms.
Explanation: A pure substance (element or compound) has a definite chemical composition — either single atoms (elements) or groups of atoms/molecules/ions (compounds). Pure substances can be broken physically or chemically, can be mixed to form mixtures, and can undergo chemical reactions, so A, C, and D are incorrect.
