    Ans: (B) grow crystals of different shapes, but all the crystals will have the symmetry of the tetragonal system. Tetragonal system contains 7 different point groups. All point groups belonging to tetragonal system will give rise to different crystal shapes but they all belong same crystal system i.e. tetragonal.

    B will be the answer. because in any crystal system the system is from the starting based on the Axial relationships and the symmetry operators . Option a will be elliminated as in isometric system all the axis must be same in length that is a1 ,a2 ,a3 but tetragonal will not have that relation. and also isometric will have 4 axis of 3 fold symmetry that is not present in tetragonal. c will not be ok already said in the above. d. no there is a limitation of symmetry. see the figure all have same axial relationship but different external appearance of crystal.
