The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Coke: In carbon reduction techniques, it serves as a reducing agent.
Diamond: Each carbon atom in a diamond is sp3 hybridized, making it an allotrope of carbon.
Fullerene: Pentagonal and hexagonal rings (a structure resembling a cage) are present in fullerene.
Graphite: Because graphite layers are joined together by feeble Vander Wall attractions, it is a soft solid.
Therefore, The correct option is (B): A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
