A. Molecular solid

Explanation:

We can say that crystalline solids have their constituent particles arranged in a definite and a long-range order pattern, so Molecular crystals typically consist of molecules at the lattice points of the crystal, held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces (see figure below). The intermolecular forces may be dispersion forces in the case of nonpolar crystals, or dipole-dipole forces in the case of polar crystals.
