Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
A crystal is formed by the regular and repetitive arrangement of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) in three dimensions. The smallest structural unit that retains the complete arrangement and symmetry of the crystal is called the unit cell. When this unit cell is repeated in all directions, the entire crystal structure is produced. Thus, a unit cell acts as the basic building block of a crystal. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Unit cell.
