Correct Answer: C — lattice distortions in crystal
Explanation:
Explanation: Frenkel Defect (also known as the Frenkel pair/disorder) is a defect in the lattice crystal where an atom or ion occupies a normally vacant site other than its own. As a result, the atom or ion leaves its own lattice site vacant. Important Points Schottky Defect | Frenkel Defect
