Correct Option: B
The regular spacing or arrangement of atoms in a crystalline material is called a lattice.
* **Lattice:** This is the correct term for the repeating, three-dimensional pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystal.
* **Orbit:** Refers to the path of an electron around the nucleus of an atom.
* **Atomic structure:** Describes the components of an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons) and their arrangement, but not the regular spacing in a crystal.
* **Energy level:** Describes the possible energy states of an electron.
