Dear student
Correct option is C)

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon other than diamond. 

 
It has planar structure in which three electrons are covalently bonded while the fourth electron is free to migrate in the layered structure and makes graphite electrically conductive.
 
Hence, option C is correct.
thanks
