Answer:

A unit cell is the smallest building unit of the crystal.

Therefore, the option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

  • A unit cell is the smallest entity of a crystal lattice which when repeated again and again in all possible directions result in formation of crystal lattice.
  • There are two types of unit cell:
  1. Primitive unit cell : The lattice points in primitive unit cell are only present at the corners. The total number of lattice point  is equal to eight.
  2. Non-primitive unit cell: The lattice points in non-primitive unit cell are present not only on the corners but also some other specific positions.
