The correct statement comparing the properties of copper (Cu) and carbon (C) is:
**Copper is ductile, while carbon is brittle.**
Copper is a metal known for its ductility, meaning it can be drawn into wires, while carbon, particularly in its common forms (like graphite or amorphous carbon), tends to be more brittle.
