Answer 1

A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II

Explanation:

List I	List II
Coke	Used as a reducing agent.
Diamond	Carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized.
Fullerene	Cage like molecules
Graphite	Used as a dry lubricant.

Coke: It is used as a reducing agent in carbon reduction methods (in metallurgical process).

Diamond: It is an allotrope of carbon in which each carbon is sp³ hybridized.

Fullerene: It contains pentagonal & hexagonal rings (cage like structure).

Graphite: It is a soft solid because graphite layers are bonded with weak Vander Waals attractions.
