Table salt (a compound) and water (a compound) are D. substances individually, but when mixed together, they form a homogeneous mixture known as saltwater.

Table salt and water are examples of substances when they are separate, as each possesses a uniform and definite composition. When dissolved together, they form a homogeneous mixture, or specifically, a solution known as saltwater. Ordinary table salt, known as sodium chloride, and pure water are both substances where table salt is a compound and water is a compound as well.
Both table salt and water are examples of substances because they have a fixed composition and unique properties that distinguish them from other materials. Saltwater, however, cannot be classified as a substance due to the variability in the composition of salt to water ratio; it is instead a homogeneous mixture.
