Solution
The correct option is B fcc
In solid sodium chloride, each ion is surrounded by six ions of the opposite charge as expected on electrostatic grounds. It can be represented as a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice with a two-atom basis or as two. The first atom is located at each lattice point, and the second atom is located halfway between lattice points along the fcc unit cell edge.
