The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Silver bromide (AgBr) can exhibit both Frenkel and Schottky defects. A Frenkel defect occurs when an ion is displaced from its lattice site to an interstitial position, while a Schottky defect involves the creation of vacancies for both cations and anions to maintain charge neutrality. Thus, AgBr displays characteristics of both types of defects due to its ionic structure.
