Answer:

The correct answer is

C. 6 Protons

Explanation:

Carbon is a nonmetallic element that is available in  both organic and inorganic compounds.

    Carbon belongs to group 14 elements in the periodic table,carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6, it can  form long chains with its own atoms, a feature called catenation.

Two allotropes of carbon available are diamonds and graphites, which have different crystalline structures

The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form.

examples are.

  1. Graphite, diamonds and coal are all nearly pure forms of carbon
  2. Diamond is highly transparent. Graphite is opaque and black
  3. Diamond is one of the hardest substances known to man. Graphite is soft and often used as the "lead" in lead pencils
  4. Diamond has a very low electrical conductivity. Graphite is a very good conductor
  5. Very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets
