multiple choice
multiple choice questions offer three to five choices per question. you just need to click instructions carefully.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "a chemical" is too vague and doesn't describe non - reacting elements.
• "inert" means an element that does not readily undergo chemical reactions or combine chemically (e.g., noble gases are inert).
• "non - chemical" is incorrect as all elements are chemical entities.
• "reactive" is the opposite, as reactive elements readily combine chemically. So the correct term for an element that will not combine chemically is "inert".

Answer:

B. inert (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D with "inert" as the second option, the answer is the option with "inert". If no labels, based on the options given, the correct one is "inert".)
