Which among the following crystal lattices occupies all of the cubic holes by cations?

$A$ solid $AB$ crystallises in $NaCl$ structure. The anion $B$ forms $fcc$ lattice,while the cation $A^{+}$ occupies all the octahedral holes. If all the particles along a diagonal plane (as shown in the figure) are removed,then the formula of the solid becomes

The crystal $AB$ has a structure similar to $NaCl$. Atoms of $A$ are present at each corner of the cubic unit cell. If all atoms along one of the axes passing through the face centers are removed,what will be the resulting stoichiometry?
