Gamma-iron occurs between the temperature ranges of

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
As the iron cools further to 1,394°C its crystal structure changes to a face centered cubic (FCC) crystalline structure. In this form it is called gamma iron (γ-Fe) or Austenite. γ-iron can dissolve considerably more carbon (as much as 2.04% by mass at 1,146°C). This γ form of carbon saturation is exhibited in stainless steel.
