Solution

The correct option is A

They have a sharp melting point.


Amorphous (Greek amorphos = no form) consists of particles of irregular shape. The arrangement of constituent particles (atoms, molecules or ions) in such solids only has short range order. So, they do not have a sharp melting point.
