The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (C): 12.
In the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, the coordination number is 12. As zinc (Zn) adopts the hcp structure, it has 12 nearest neighbors, with six located within the same plane, and three situated above and three below that plane.
