carbon can bond with all other atoms.
carbon can easily form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms.
carbon can easily form 2 covalent bonds with other atoms.
carbon can only bond with other carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It can share these electrons to form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms, which is a key characteristic of its bonding ability. It cannot bond with all other atoms, and it doesn't just bond with carbon - carbon atoms. Also, it forms 4 covalent bonds, not 2.

Answer:

Carbon can easily form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms.
