Detailed Solution

AB is of the NaCl-type (fcc systems).
Amount of A atoms
=8×18(corner)s+6×12(faces) =1+3=4/unit cell

Amount of B atoms
=12×14(edge)+1(body centre)= =1+3=4/unit cell

Amount of A atoms eliminated (face centred tom of one axis)
=2(faces)×12(per edge centre share)=1/unit cell  Number of remaining A atoms ==4-1=3/unit cell Formula = A3B4 

Therefore, the correct option is D
