Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cumene is not an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckminsterfullerene.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formula of Carborundum is SiC that is Silicon carbide, and hence, is not an allotrope of carbon. Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).
Detailed explanation-3: -The element that does NOT exhibit allotropy is bismuth. Hence, the option D ) bismuth is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Diamond, graphite and fullerenes (substances that include nanotubes and ‘buckyballs’, such as buckminsterfullerene) are three allotropes of pure carbon.
