A compound word is different from a phrase because
Answer: A
A compound word is different from a phrase because some compounds can be without a head, the exocentric compounds, while phrases cannot be without a head. A phrase is always built around a head.
The reverse claim is wrong, and so are the options saying both can be headless or that both must have a head in every language, since exocentric compounds exist. The other choices are terms from the same area of linguistics, which is why they look plausible, but each names a different notion and so does not fit the wording of the question.
