Solution

The correct option is A $101 p m$
From the above structure, it is clear that
$L e n g t h o f e d g e o f u n i t c e l l = R_{C l^{-}} + 2 R_{N a^{+}} + R_{C l^{-}}$

$⟹ 564 = 2 R_{N a^{+}} + 2 \times 181$
$⟹ R_{N a^{+}} = \frac{564 - 362}{2} = 101 p m$

Hence, Option "A" is the correct answer.
