Solution

The correct option is A 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 (CO2) is not an allotrope of carbon but instead a compound of carbon.
It contains oxygen atoms bonded to the carbon atom.
