Solution

The correct option is D

Graphite


Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Thus, it can be used in electric arc lamp electrodes. Charcoal, soot and lampblack are the amorphous allotropes of carbon but unlike graphite, these allotropic forms do not conduct heat and electricity. Diamond also does not conduct heat and electricity.
