Statement (A) and (D) are correct because the hydrolysis of dialkyl dichlorosilanes like $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}SiC{l}_2$ produces linear silicones with $-(R_{2}SiO)-$ as the repeating unit.

Statement (B) is incorrect because $R_{3}SiCl$ (trimethylchlorosilane) acts as the chain stopper to control length; $C{H}_{3}SiC{l}_3$ is used for cross-linking.

Statement (C) is incorrect because silicones are condensation polymers, not addition polymers, as they involve the elimination of water during formation.
