Answer 1

Carbon can bond with many elements

Explanation:

Carbon can bond with many elements, including itself, to form macromolecules. Moreover, it can form four bonds, and that makes possible many different arrangements of the atoms in the molecules.

A is wrong. Carbon is among the seven smallest elements in the Periodic Table.

C is wrong. Carbon is found in living things because it can form macromolecules, not the other way around.

D is wrong. Carbon can bond with many other elements beside itself.
