  3. C
    Isotopes
  4. D
    Isobars

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Allotropy is the characteristic property of certain chemical elements to exist in two or more distinct structural forms within the same physical state. Diamond and graphite are well-known crystalline allotropes of the element carbon, exhibiting entirely different spatial configurations of carbon atoms, which results in highly distinct physical properties.
