amorphous carbon is a noncrystalline form. Glass is actually neither a liquid nor a solid. It is an amorphous solid—a state somewhere between those two states of matter.

Answer:

C. Glass

Step-by-step explanation:

Amorphous solids have a non-crystalline structure and no order. In that case, Diamonds, Graphite, and Iron all have a crystalline structure and order. You are left with C as your answer.
