Solution
The correct option is Dd) All of the above Answer 79: D
Explanation: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an allotrope of carbon- they are cylindrical hollow fibers. Being a hollow tube comprised entirely of carbon, they are also extremely light weight. CNT composites have excellent electrical properties and are used as reinforcement to metals in order to enhance their electrical properties
