Solution

The correct option is B
charcoal

Explanation for the correct option:
(B) Charcoal
The solids in which the particles are not arranged in any specific order or the solids that lack the overall order of a crystal lattice are called amorphous solids.
Charcoal, soot and lampblack are some allotropes of carbon. They do not have a definite crystalline structure hence they are called amorphous form.
Examples of crystalline forms of carbon include diamond, graphite and fullerene.
Therefore, option (B) is correct, Charcoal is an amorphous allotrope of Carbon.
