Solution

The correct option is C

Third layer


If the third layer is identical to the first layer (A), it is called hexagonal close packing (hcp) & arrangement will be AB-AB-AB. If a different third layer (C) is formed above the layers A and B, its called cubic close packing (ccp) & arrangement will be ABC-ABC-ABC.
