Analysing the assertion :
The octahedral voids present at the body center of the cube =
octahedral voids located at each edge centre and shared between four unit cells =
Total number of octahedral voids =
In ccp, number of atoms per unit cell =
Number of octahedral void = number of atoms present in per unit cell
So, the assertion is correct
Analysing the reason :
Besides the body centre, there are octahedral voids at the centre of each of the edges. Each edge is shared between four adjacent unit cells. So, the reason is a wrong statement because other than the body centre, octahedral voids are present at the edge centres in cubic close packing.
Hence, the assertion is a correct statement, but the reason is a wrong statement.
So, option (C) is the correct answer.
