    option A Two dimensioanl sheet silicates: In such silicates, three oxygen atoms of each tetrahedral are shared with adjacent SiO44−​ tetrahedral, such sharing forms two dimensional sheet strtucre with general formula (Si2​O5​)n2n−​ Ex. Talc Mg(Si2​O5​)2​Mg(OH)2​ The structure of silicates has been found with the help of X-ray diffraction techniques.  Hence,option A is correct. check this video for more information about silicates https://youtu.be/0qbqLjIeNB0
