Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of each term: An element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom.
Energy is the capacity to do work or produce heat and does not have mass or occupy space.
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space, which means it has physical substance.
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded and still retain their individual properties.
Since the question asks for the term that describes anything with mass and volume, the correct term is 'Matter'.
