Solution

The correct option is B

tetrahedral - 4


If the radius ratio is between 0.225 and 0.414, it will have a tetrahedral void. The derivation of this actually takes place in reverse where we assume a tetrahedral void and arrive at the value, but the converse also holds true. A tetrahedral void naturally means there are 4 surrounding atoms. So, coordination number will be 4.
