I Confused. Diamond Is Purely Made From Carbon. But It is Not An Itself Element. Right?

Comparatively, it is an element but actually, it is a compound. So in this question, there is one option we can go for is Diamond otherwise if any option would have been "NONE OF THE ABOVE" then we would have to go for that.

I would think the diamond is correct answer cause it is a form of carbon rather than ruby sapphire are natural occurring gem stones.

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon how it becomes element?

Diamond is made up of elements, but it is neither an element nor metals. From the question, the other substances are forms of gemstone, so diamond will be the answer. But there must be a reasonable prove to the fact that diamond is an element.

Because it is an allotrope of carbon while others or mixture of some Elements.

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

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon(C), right!
But if you think logically, then Diamond is also a carbon(C).
Now when carbon(C) is an Element, why not the diamond(C) be an element?
Both carbon and diamond are exclusively made up of carbon atoms and no other.
Hence, carbon is an element because it only contains carbon atom, so diamond is correct.
