Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Therefore, in order to become stable and completely fill its octet carbon readily share its valence electrons with another atom.
For example,
A carbon atom is also able to form a double double with valence electrons of other atom.
Thus, we can conclude that a carbon atom has a strong tendency to share electrons.
