This one doesn't leave me with much inspiration, so I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say F, in which 7 different elements can be counted, depending on how one counts them. Of course, the same might be said of A and B. Oh well, at some point, one has to fish or cut bait. I'm fishing. You are forgiven, Wordsman.

Except the guy appears to only have one leg. Probably lost it in a war or something. There were a lot of wars in ancient times, something which the Japanese apparently wanted to represent in the kanji for the word "week."

However, perhaps she will take some comfort in the fact that I too felt the need to look up "photosynthesis," because I was curious as to how one would say it in Japanese. It's "kougousei."
