Correct option is A)

Graphite has delocalized pi-electrons over the entire sheet. This delocalization lowers the energy of the system, leading to greater thermodynamic stability.  Delocalization of electrons or greater conjugation - enhances the thermodynamic stability. Hence we see that graphite is the most stable among the given options.
