(a) (ii) and (iv)
(b) (ii) and (iii)
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (1) and (mm)​

Answer 1

Answer:

As in general carbon forms only covalent bonds as accepting and donating four electrons is very difficult. As all are covalent compounds these are poor conductors of electricity. They do not have strong forces because covalent bond is weaker than ionic bond. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
