Fullerenes cannot be used as lubricants because of their cage-like structure. They can be synthesized from graphite and are insoluble in water. Fullerenes were discovered in the 20th century and have since found use in a variety of applications, including as drug delivery agents and in nanotechnology. Hence option C is the correct answer.

Option (A) is incorrect because the statement they are composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a 3D network does not hold good for fullerenes. Hence option A is incorrect.

Option (B) is incorrect because the statement they have a diamond-like crystal structure does not hold good for fullerenes. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option (D) is incorrect because the statement they have low tensile strength does not hold good for fullerenes. Hence option D is incorrect.
