Vedclass · Answer

(B) Steel is an alloy of iron $(Fe)$ and carbon $(C)$. In the crystal lattice of iron, carbon atoms are much smaller than iron atoms. These small carbon atoms occupy the interstitial sites (the empty spaces between the lattice points) of the iron crystal lattice. Therefore, steel exhibits an interstitial impurity defect.
