In a solid $AB_2$,the coordination number of $A$ is $8$. It has a cubic close-packed $(ccp)$ lattice. Half of the $B$ atoms are,however,ejected from the solid. Now,the number of tetrahedral holes (voids) that remain filled is:

  • A
    Equal to $2A$ atoms
  • B
    Equal to $4A$ atoms
  • C
    Equal to $9A$ atoms
  • D
    Equal to $A$ atoms
