Silica is the right answer.

Gajan Rana said:   9 years ago
Major constituent is Alumina not silica. No matter what is percentage is. Alumina provides plasticity to bricks.

Alumina 20-30 percentage is correct because its absorb water and imparts plasticity to the clay and makes brick hard.

The right answer is Silica.

Yes silica has more percent (50-60) and alumina has (20-30) but the main ingredient for its good quality is Alumina. So, the answer must be D.
