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
