Detailed Solution

It is clear from the figure that the arrangement is sc, with coordination number (CN) of each point : 6. (The arrangement shown in figure consists of 4 unit cells. Taking a view of one unit cell, the atoms are not present at the face centres of each unit cell, hence it cannot be fcc, since in fcc lattice points are occupied at corners and face centres of each unit cell)
