Solution

The correct option is D 8,8
In CsCl, cesium ions forms the simple cubic arrangement and chloride ions occupy the interstitial sites such that each cesium ion is surrounded by 8 chloride ion and each chloride ion is surrounded by 8 cesium ion. So, the coordination is 8:8.

Hence option C is correct.
