Solution

The correct option is B
Different bonding pattern

Difference in bonding

Allotropes have different structural forms in the same phase through differences in the bonding of the atoms. The atoms involved stay the same, only the bonding is changed. This results in the difference in chemical response. The same reagent might behave differently when it is reacted in two different bonded patterns.
