D Correct answer
Explanation

Diamond has the highest melting point among these options at approximately 3550°C, due to its extremely strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in a tetrahedral structure. Gold melts at about 1064°C, stainless steel at 1400-1450°C, and salt (NaCl) at 801°C. Diamond's exceptional thermal stability makes it valuable for high-temperature applications.
