The correct option is C Silica
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth crust. Silicon is the second most abundant element and aluminium is the 3 rd.
Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group in the periodic table, a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds.
