Solution

The correct option is B sheet silicate.
Two dimensioanl sheet silicates: In such silicates, three oxygen atoms of each tetrahedral are shared with adjacent $S i O_{4}^{4 -}$ tetrahedral, such sharing forms two dimensional sheet strtucre with general formula $(S i_{2} O_{5})_{n}^{2 n -}$
Ex. Talc $M g (S i_{2} O_{5})_{2} M g (O H)_{2}$
The structure of silicates has been found with the help of X-ray diffraction techniques.

Hence,option B is correct.
