A.  (a)  (b)  (c)  (d)  (iv)  (ii)  (iii)  (i) \begin{array}{llll}\text{ (a) } & \text{ (b) } & \text{ (c) } & \text{ (d) } \\ \text{ (iv) } & \text{ (ii) } & \text{ (iii) } & \text{ (i) }\end{array}

Step-by-step solution

(a) Graphite (iv) Soft and slippery material: Graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. These layers are weakly bonded together, allowing them to slide over each other easily. This gives graphite its characteristic soft and slippery feel, making it suitable as a lubricant and in pencils. (b) Diamond (ii) Hardest natural substance: Diamond is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral lattice structure, forming a very strong covalent bond network. This structure gives diamond its exceptional hardness, making it the hardest natural substance known. (c) Fullerene (iii) Very light and strong material: Fullerene molecules, such as Buckminsterfullerene (C60)\left(\mathrm{C}_{60}\right), are spherical carbon molecules with a unique structure. They are lightweight due to their hollow structure and have remarkable strength, despite their lightness. (d) Graphene (i) Thinnest and strongest material: Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It is incredibly thin, with a thickness of just one atom. Despite its thinness, graphene is exceptionally strong, with a tensile strength much higher than steel.
