Reason:Hybridization of carbon in diamond and graphite aresp3andsp2respectively.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Diamond has strong3-Dimensional network structure as every carbon is linked with 4other carbons tetrahedrally viasp3hybridization. In graphite, every carbon is linked to3 other carbon to forms sheet-like hexagonal structure, and the free electron is along with the layer so good conductor of electricity along with the layer.
