Solution

The correct option is B

Carbon


Nonmetal:

  1. Carbon is a nonmetal that conducts electricity in the form of graphite, which is an allotrope of carbon.
  2. Allotropes are elements that have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.
  3. Non-metals are elements that are not hard, lustrous, strong, sonorous, malleable, ductile, or have a high heat and electricity conductivity.
  4. Only a few nonmetals conduct electricity, which makes them suitable for use in the production of electrodes.

Hence, Option(B) is correct.
