Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Graphite and diamonds are allotropes of carbon in which Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity because it has free electrons in its structure.In graphite, the carbon atoms undergo Sp3 hybridization so there are c=c bonds are present, not c-c sigma bonds.So Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Hence option D is correct.
