Solution
The correct option is A Diamond
The structure of silica is very similar to that of diamond, with each silicon atom having tetrahedral bond and bonded to 4 oxygen atoms, which in turn are connected to another silicon atom, thus effectively, each C-C bond of diamond has been replaced by a Si-O-Si link to give the silica lattice.
