Which of the following crystal system has four types of unit cells?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The seven crystal systems and the number of Bravais lattices they possess are as follows:

Cubic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered)
Tetragonal: (Primitive, Body-centered)
Orthorhombic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered, End-centered)
Hexagonal: (Primitive)
Rhombohedral: (Primitive)
Monoclinic: (Primitive, End-centered)
Triclinic: (Primitive)

The orthorhombic crystal system is the only one that has all four types of unit cells.

Answer: Orthorhombic
