Answer:

Option B, Crystal habit

Step-by-step explanation:

The external shape of crystal is depicted by crystal shape. It is the characteristics of minerals to grow into characteristics shapes governed by their atomic structure thereby giving it a habit/

Some common crystal habits are – Granular, Bladed, Massive, Nodular, columnar, cubic, dendritic, etc.

These crystal habit can help us to visualize the geometric shape of a mineral. Not all mineral forms have a characteristic habit (crystl habit).

Hence, option B is correct.
