Solution

The correct option is C Diamond
Cs is a metal. So it is a good conductor of electricity.
Covalent solids can't conduct electricity.
Diamond is insulator and is a covalent solid.
Even though graphite is a covalent solid, it can conduct electricity due to the presence of delocalised electrons in it.
