Carbon predominantly forms

Question

Accepted Answer

B. {'text': 'Covalent bonds by sharing electrons', 'label': 'B'}

1. Losing 4 electrons requires huge energy — energetically not feasible.
2. Gaining 4 electrons produces highly unstable C⁴⁻ — also not feasible.
3. So carbon shares electrons and forms strong covalent bonds.
4. Sharing gives carbon the ability to form long chains and branched structures.
