Yea the answer would be B

Answer: b. an individual oxygen atom combines with an oxygen molecule

Explanation:

Molecules of an element is a pure substance which is  composed of atoms of similar elements. Example: \(O_2\)

Atom is the smallest entity of a matter which has its independent existence.

\(O_2+O\rightarrow O_3\)

Ozone is a molecule of oxygen which contains 3 oxygen atoms and hence is formed by the combination of a molecule of oxygen and a atom of oxygen.

Hence the correct option is b.
