A, B

Solution:

AMPHIBOLE SILICATES are double chain silicates that share two oxygens as well as three oxygen atoms per tetrahedral units.

2-D silicates or SHEET silicates share three oxygen atoms per tetrahedral unit.

NESO silicates are basic ORTHO silicates which have single $S i O_{4}^{4 -}$ units in which no oxygen is shared.

SORO silicates are PYRO silicates which share only one oxygen per tetrahedral unit.
