Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent compound is a compound formed by sharing of electrons. And, in a covalent network solid atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network that is extending throughout the material or solid.
This continuous arrangement of atoms are like a lattice.
For example, diamond is a covalent network solid in which carbon atoms are arranged in a continuous lattice like structure.
Hence, we can conclude that the statement all the atoms are covalently bonded to other atoms to form a lattice-like structure, best describes the structure of covalent network solids.
