Solution
The correct option is BNaC2H3O2(s)
The only regular geometric pattern should be seen in solids; and the only solid molecule available in the option is Na2C2H3O2
Only solids can be classified as crystalline, with particles arranged tightly in geometric patterns. Solids may be also classed as amorphous solids. The crystals in amorphous solids, such as clay are arranged more loosely and randomly allowing the shape of the material to be altered.
