D. Statement-II is correct, and Statement-I is incorrect. — Statement-I: Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the presence of free electrons in its structure. This makes it incorrect. Statement-II: In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three others, forming a hexagonal array in a plane, leaving one electron free per carbon atom. This contributes to its electrical conductivity. Thus, this statement is correct.
