Hi

I found out the options through browsing over internet and i think i can answer this question.

The best option is D: Carbon atoms can bond with many other kinds of atoms to form very stable molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that carbon has a valency of four and it means it can form four bonds with other atoms, be it carbon or any other atom. This increases the ability of carbon to make bonds with diverse array of atom that exponentially increases the stability of resultant variety of compound or molecule.

This is one of the most important characteristic of carbon atoms due to which we see very stable carbon containing compounds in living as well as non living systems, such as carbohydrates, hydrocarbons and other carbon containing polymers.


Hope it help!
