Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
ConceptTypical HCP metals: Zn, Mg, Cd, Co, Ti, Zr, etc. However, antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi) are rhombohedral, not HCP. The other sets list FCC (option b) and BCC (option c) metals.
Option check• (a) includes HCP members (Zn, Mg, Cd, Co) but incorrectly adds Sb and Bi → set is not purely HCP.• (b) FCC set (γ-Fe, Al, Cu, Pb, Ag, Ni).• (c) BCC set (α-Fe, W, Cr, Mo).Thus, the only correct choice is “None of the above.”
Final AnswerNone of the above
