Solution

The correct option is B graphite
Graphite is an interesting material, an allotrope of carbon. It displays properties of both metals and nonmetals. However, like a metal, graphite is a very good conductor of electricity due to the mobility of the electrons in its outer valence shells.

Hence, option B is correct.
