Answer

Correct option: A.
Atoms are not able to exist independently.
The molecules and ions aggregate together in large number to form the matter. We can not see the individual molecules / ions with our eyes, only we can see the various substances which are a big collection of molecules / ions. Atoms of only inert gases can exist independently, i.e. as single atoms. Rest of the statements about an atom are true.
