Solution
The correct option is A molecular crystal
Solid CO2 is known as dry ice because it directly converts into a gas without passing into a liquid state and also if we keep dry ice in our pocket it does not wet our clothes.
Dry ice, or solid carbon dioxide, is a perfect example of a molecular solid. The Van der Waals forces holding the CO2 molecules together are weak enough that dry ice sublimes it passes directly from the solid to the gas phase at −78oC.
