Answer» Right answer is (a) Carbon

Easiest explanation: There are 4 bonding electrons in all the above materials. However, the energy required to take out an electron will be maximum for carbon as the valence electrons are in the second orbit. Hence, the number of free electrons for conduction is negligibly small in C.
