The correct answer is c) molecules.

To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the basic concept of chemical bonding. Chemical bonding occurs when atoms interact and share electrons to form stable structures. When atoms are chemically bound together, they form molecules.

Option a) sodium refers to an individual element, not a group of chemically bound atoms.
Option b) phosphorus refers to another individual element, not a group of chemically bound atoms.
Option d) proteins are large macromolecules composed of long chains of amino acids, not individual atoms.

Therefore, the appropriate answer is c) molecules.
