A. a mixture.

Reason: A mixture can contain several different types of atoms (or substances) and its proportions can vary without producing a new substance. A compound has a fixed composition (definite ratio), an element contains only one kind of atom, and a molecule is a specific bonded arrangement with a fixed formula.
