Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B

It is a non-metal.

C

Good conductor of heat.

Metals are generally good conductors of heat, i.e., they allow heat to pass through them easily. On the other hand, non-metals are usually bad conductors of heat.They do not allow the heat to pass through them easily.

The diamond, although a non-metal, is a very good conductor of heat.
