Solution

Non-metals are generally bad conductors of electricity.
Carbon is non-metal and has three allotropic forms i.e. Graphite, Diamond, and fullerene.
Graphite is a non-metal but still can conduct electricity because of the delocalized (free) electrons in its structure.
Hence, graphite is an allotrope of the non-metal carbon which conducts electricity.
