Diamond is the hardest mineral in the world.

It is a mineral then why it called as a element. I think option B is right answer.

Confirm D because in this question no compound present that made only one element but ruby, Sapphire, emerald consist of different element. Only diamond made by one element, carbon, but out of this question diamond is not correct answer for element, its nearly answer in this question.

Diamond is not a element it is mineral only.

Carbon = Atom = Element.
Diamond = 100% carbon.
Diamond = Carbon.
Diamond is Technically an Element because it IS 100% of a single element. Saying Diamond is an element is like saying.
"A house is made of wood, wood is used for building. So that must mean houses are USED for building also".
No, houses (Diamond) are made from building materials (Carbon) Houses are just the accumulation and joining of building materials to form a structure.
Diamond = 100% carbon.
Diamond = Carbon.

Other three are minerals where diamond is allotrope of metal carbon.

Diamond is a allotrope of Carbon. And Carbon itself is a Element. So Diamond is also Element.

I think Ruby because it is an element and diamond is the allotrope of carbon.
