Solution

The correct option is D diamond
The CC bond length is maximum in daimond having value 154 pm. Here, each carbon atom undergoes sp3 hybridisation and linked to four other carbon atoms by using hybridised orbitals in tetrahedral fastion. It has a rigid three-dimensional network of carbon atoms.
CC bond length within the layers of graphite is 141.5 pm. In C60,CC distances between single and double bonds are 143.5 pm and 138.3 pm respectively.
