A. table sugar is a compound C12H22O11
B. tap water is a mixture (pure water would be a compound, but since it is labeled as tap water, it includes the impurities that are mixed in)
C. Cough syrup is a mixture - it is composed of many different substances
D. Nitrogen is an element

Here is a basic description of element, compund, and mixture.

Elements only have a single distinct type of atom.
Compounds have two or more types of atoms that are chemically combined.
Mixtures are physical combinations containing two or more elements or compounds.

a = compound (table sugar is just sucrose - a molecule).
b = compound (well, if it is pure water...technically speaking, most tap water has a lot of impurities which would make it a mixture).
c= mixture (lots of different molecules in cough syrup).
d = element
