Solution
The correct option is C Black Black phosphorous is the thermodynamically stable form of phosphorous at room temperature and pressure.
It has an orthorhombic structure and is the least reactive allotrope; as a result of its lattice of interlinked six-membered rings where each atom is bonded to three other atoms.
