Since A atoms occupy the corners of the cubic unit cell, the number of atoms occupying the corners is 1. If all the face-centered atoms along one of the axes are removed, then only 4 faces remain, which counts in total to 2 atoms of A. B is present in octahedral voids, so the total number of atoms of B is 4. Hence the correct option is option (d)
