As we learnt in 

z for body centered unit cell -

Lattice points: at corners and body center of unit cell.

For body centered cubic (BCC), z=2

- wherein

 

In a bcc lattice, we have an atom  at the center and distance between it and the corner atom will be  

\sqrt{\left ( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}} a=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a


Option 1)

\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\text{a}

Incorrect

Option 2)

\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\text{a}

Incorrect

Option 3)

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\text{a}

Incorrect

Option 4)

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{a}

Correct
