Answer»

Right answer is (c) Graphite

The best I can EXPLAIN: Graphite is also a crystalline form of allotropic CARBON which is dark grey in color, it has hexagonal plates, the hybridization of carbon is sp^2 and it is a GOOD conductor of HEAT and electricity DUE to the presence of electrons. It is known as a black lead and it is also a very good lubricant.
