Solution

The correct option is C Carbon dioxide
Allotropes are the different forms in which an element can exist. For example, diamond, graphite and fullerene are allotropes of carbon.

However, carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ is not an allotrope of carbon but instead a compound of carbon.
It contains oxygen atoms bonded to the carbon atom.
