Answer»

The correct option is (b) Phyllosilicates

For explanation I would say: Clay GENERALLY contains phyllosilicates which are MAINLY responsible for imparting plasticity in the clay material. It can also include other materials which impart plasticity and harden-ability when the clay is dried or fired. COMBINED phases in clay material can also contain materials that do not impart any plasticity.
