Solution

The correct option is C

c) Both 1 and 2


Such materials are a hot topic of research since the discovery of graphene – a single layer of carbon arranged in a honeycomb – isolated from pencil graphite. The graphene discovery had won the Nobel physics prize in 2010.

Scientists are racing to develop such nanomaterials as they possess unique properties. Graphene, for instance, is 200 times stronger than steel though it is just one atom thick.

The quest is to synthesize newer 2D materials which are similar to graphene but made from different elements
