Solution

The correct options are
A The coordination number of A2+ in compound AB is 4.
C The coordination number of C+ in compound CD is 6.
Radius ratio = r+r−
In AB, radius ratio = 0.33, the cation sits in the tetrahedral void, coordination number is 4.
In CD, radius ratio = 0.5, the cation sits in the octahedral void, coordination number is 6.
