polymorphous ........well the accurate answer depends on the substance
if it is a element (like carbon) then called allotroph
or if it is a compound (e.g ZnS) it is polymorphous

A single substance that exists in two or more forms is called polymorphous substance.
Polymorphous substance:
- Substances which exhibit polymorphism is referred to as polymorphous substance.
- A substance's capacity to crystallize into various crystalline forms is known as polymorphism.
- These crystal changes are also referred to as polymorphs.
- Polymorphs behave differently in the solid state even though they are the same in the liquid or gaseous states.
- Examples of polymorphic substances are graphite, fullerene, diamond, etc.
Amorphous substance:
- Any non-crystalline solid whose atoms and molecules are not arranged in a clear lattice pattern is said to be amorphous.
- Examples of polymorphous substances are glass, plastic, gel, etc
Isomorphous substance:
- The similarity of crystal structure between two or more different substances is known as isomorphism of minerals.
- Examples of isomorphous substances are sodium nitrate, calcium sulphate, etc.
Mono-morphous substance:
- Mono-morphous substances are those substances which exists in only one crystalline form
- Examples of mono-morphous substances are copper, dysprosium, etc.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) polymorphous
