Solution

The correct option is D Single-chain silicate
Single chain silicates are called pyroxene. They contain a linear single strand chain of composition $(S i O_{3})_{n}^{2 -}$ in which two oxygen atoms per tetrahedron are shared. Examples include Spodumene $L i A l (S i O_{3})_{2}$ and Enstatite
$M g S i O_{3}$ .
