Solution

The correct option is D Interstitial compounds have higher melting points which are higher than those of pure metals.
Interstitial compounds have the same chemical properties as that of the parent metal but differ in physical properties (density, conductivity, hardness) as compared to that of the parent metal. As a result of filling up of interstitial spaces the metals becomes rigid and hard, thus they have higher melting points which are higher than those of pure metals.
