Solution

The correct options are
B Sharp melting point
C Long range order
D Definite regular geometry
Crystalline solids are anisotropic in nature, so option 1 is incorrect.

Crystals tend to have relatively sharp, well-defined melting points because all the component atoms, molecules, or ions are the same distance from the same number and type of neighbours.

Crystalline solids have a long-range order which means that there is a regular pattern of arrangement of particles which repeats itself periodically over the entire crystal.

It has a definite regular geometry.

Hence, option B, C and D are correct.
