$A$ body-centred cubic $(BCC)$ lattice is made up of two different types of atoms $X$ and $Y$. Atom $X$ occupies the body centre and atoms $Y$ occupy the corner positions. One of the corners is left unoccupied per unit cell. The empirical formula of it is

  • A
    $X_2 Y_3$
  • B
    $X_8 Y_7$
  • C
    $X_7 Y_8$
  • D
    $X_5 Y_7$
