C

A-llI, B-IV, C-I, D-II

D

A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Answer

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Explanation

Solution

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
