  • B. Diamond.
  • C. Silica.
  • D. Carbon.

Explanation

Glass is called a supercooled liquid because the molecules in the material are constantly in a state of flux. Glass is an Amorphous solid. Glass does not form a crystalline solid structure because the particles in solids do not move but in the case of glass, it moves. Glass is highly viscous.

About Crystalline Solids

Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
