Solution

Answer: (d) Ionic solid

Graphite can't be classified as ionic solid as graphite is not made up of ions. It is made up of carbon atoms covalently bonded to three carbon atoms so, it is a covalent solid. Since the formation of the covalent bond occurs throughout the crystal. Therefore, it is a type of network solid. Due to the presence of free electron graphite is also classified as conductor solid.
