Correct answer: B. unit cell
- A. crystal
- B. unit cell
- C. molecules
- D. all are correct
Explanation
The minimum number of atoms arranged in a solid showing the whole characteristics of the solid is called a unit cell. A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit in a crystal lattice that retains the symmetry and characteristics of the entire crystal structure

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
