    Answer is (d)..Mainly dipyramids correspond to close form in crystallography. Orthodome is defined as a dome whose faces are found parallel to orthodiagonal(orthoaxis) . B cannot be the answer, as pyramid corresponds to open form in crystallography. Trigonal dipyramid belongs to Hexagonal crystal system (6bar, closed form),so is the Dihexagonal pyramid (6mm) have open face at the bottom when represented(open form). For more understanding please go through the image provided below.

    In a monoclinic crystal: a dome with faces parallel to the ortho axis is called a Orthodome. Trigonal dipyramidal   6 bar= 3/m is a closed form because volume is enclosed by this form. B is not the answer because it's Dihexagonal pyramid. if it had Dihexagonal bipyramid it would have been a closed one.
