Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is carbon. Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms (with a few exceptions). The presence of carbon is what distinguishes organic compounds from inorganic compounds.

Carbon is unique among elements in its ability to form long chains and complex structures due to its versatile bonding capabilities. These carbon-based compounds are the building blocks of life and are found in all living organisms, as well as in many non-living substances such as plastics and fossil fuels.
