Solution

The correct option is A Coordination number for $C s^{+}$ and $C l^{-}$ is 6
$C s C l$ has a body-centred cubic (bcc) arrangement and the ratio of radius of cation and anion is more than 0.732 and less than 0.999.
Each $C s^{+}$ ion is surrounded by 8 $C l^{-}$ ions and each $C l^{-}$ ion is surrounded by 8 $C s^{+}$ ions therefore this structure has 8:8 co-ordination.
$C s C l$ structure on heating to about 760 K, changes to $N a C l$ structure.
