Solution
The correct option is C Amorphous solid
Amorphous solids does not have a definite geometrical shape. They don’t have long-range repetitive internal structures that are found in crystals. They don't have sharp melting point due to the disordered arrangements. They have a range of temperature for melting.
They are formed by sudden cooling of a liquid. They can be called supercooled liquids or pseudo solid because they have the tendency to flow through slowly.
Crystalline solids are produced by slow cooling of liquid under controlled conditions.
