Answer
Correct Answer: (D), (B), (C), (A)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Chemical matter can be ordered from subatomic particles to bulk substance.
Given Data / Assumptions:Proton is subatomic; atoms consist of subatomic particles; molecules are bonded atoms; substances are macroscopic forms of matter.
Concept / Approach:Place the smallest building blocks first and the composite entities later.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Proton (D) → Atom (B) → Molecule (C) → Substance (A)Verification / Alternative check:This mirrors the hierarchy in chemistry.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They put macro before micro or misorder atoms/molecules.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “substance” with “molecule”—substance is bulk matter.
Final Answer:(D), (B), (C), (A)
