Think of something with a network bond, a diamond. I'm sure you know they have an incredibly high melting point and that is because of the great strenght of network bonding so of course they would have higher melting points over ordinary molecular covalent non network bonding. I can't remember exactly but I think its something liek in network bonding for example in a diamond the carbon all are at the perfect angle of each other for maximum strength.

the question doesn't ask for the "best choice." E it is the only WRONG answer because the information in the answer is backward. Network solids melt at a higher temperature than molecular solids.
