Answer: Isometric system

Explanation: Isometric or Cubic system is the simplest of all the crystallographic system. It is comprised of three crystallographic axes of same length which are all perpendicular to one another. The shape of its unit cell is cube shaped. For example, diamond, garnet and gold.

It contains three kinds of symmetry axes, such as-

  • Four 3-fold axes
  • Three 4-fold axes
  • Six 2-fold axes.
