Solution

The correct option is B There are two types of tetrahedra: those sharing 3 vertices and those sharing only 2 vertices.
The general formula of double chain silicates is [(Si4O11)6nn]. Two simple chains are joined together by shared oxygen. There are two types of tetrahedra: those sharing 3 vertices and those sharing only 2 vertices.

Hence, correct option is b.
