Solution

The correct option is A $f c c > b c c > p c$
Face centred cubic (fcc) lattice has a packing efficiency of $74$ %.

Body centred cubic (bcc) lattice has a packing efficiency of $68$ %.

Simple/ Primitive cubic (pc) lattice has a packing efficiency of $52.4$ %.
Hence, the correct order is $fcc > bcc > pc$ .
