Best answer

Correct option (a)  Diamond

Explanation:

Potassium and sodium are metals so have mobile electrons. in graphite, each of the C-atom is covalently bonded to three other C-atoms so one valence electron is available for electrical and thermal conduction but there is no mobile electron present in diamond as each C-atom is bonded to four other C-atoms by covalent bonds.
