On my own opinion, diamond is the right answer even though it is a mineral.

It's an element because it contains the same kind of atoms and molecules.

Diamond is allotrope of carbon it is not an element.

Gaurav said:   7 years ago
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.

Here all others are minerals.

And diamond is made up of carbon only.

Meanwhile, it is not an element but it's a homogeneous compound of carbon which is closest to the element. Hence, it is referred here as an element.
