Solution

The correct options are
A ultramarines
B zeolites
C feldspars
When all the four corners of a tetrahedron are shared with other tetrahedral, the three-dimensional network structure is obtained. Since all the oxygen atoms are shared, these silicates are neutral

Zeolites and feldspars (Eg: albite (NaAlSi3O8)) are three-dimensional networks of aluminosilicates.

Ultramarines is Na8[SiAlO4]6.(S3)2 is also a 3 dimensional silicate.

Hence, options A,B and C are correct.
