Hello Zarinamo,
A “part” is any amount of a thing that is less than the whole thing.
A “component” is a distinct part of a more complex entity. Thus a pc consists of “components”.
An “element” is much the same as “component”; though it has a sense of “something irreducible”.
A “topping” is an additional layer on top of a foodstuff. There are innumerable possible toppings for pizza: bacon, chicken, beef, chorizo, mushrooms, garlic, feta cheese, etc.
All 4 answers are possible, in this question: but “toppings” is the usual term for “things that are on top of pizza”.
Best wishes,
MrP

Please stop spamming our forum, @lukewarris and get busy getting Brexit done. Here is quote by Dr Jason Hickel for you to consider:
Back in February, Home Secretary Priti Patel said that workers earning less than £25,000 are “low-skilled” and, if immigrants, unfit to enter Britain. Turns out that includes nurses, paramedics, radiographers and social carers - NHS staff on whom our lives literally depend.
