Solution

The correct option is A Sheet silicate
The chemical formula of the silicates given are
I- Sheet Silicate $S i_{4} O_{10}$
II- Chain Silicate $S i_{4} O_{11}^{- 6}$ or $S i_{2} O_{6}^{- 4}$
III- Nesosilicate $S i O_{4}^{- 4}$
IV- Cyclosilicate $S i_{6} O_{18}^{- 12}$
Since there is no charge on sheet silicate so it is used for electrical insulation.
