Kaolinite = Hydrogen bond.
illite = potassium bond (i.e. stronger than that of H+ bond)
So, b and d are correct.
illite = potassium bond (i.e. stronger than that of H+ bond)
So, b and d are correct.

Answer A and B both are correct. Because in illite ionic bond is form which is stronger than water bond (montmorillonite) and weaker than hydrogen bond (Kaolinite).
Example of kaolinite is china clay (teacup) which shows no swelling and shrinkage. We all know water bond of monriolinite shows high shrinkage and swelling. Illite is 500 Armstrong to 1000 Armstrong whereas kaolinite and montmorillonite gives 100 - 1000 Armstrong and 10-50 Armstrong. So both A and B correct.

Yes, Illite does show some swelling.

Illite swells more than kaolinite.

I think c is the wrong statement.

Swelling of Illite is more than that of Kaolinite , but less than montmorillonite.
Properties of Illite are somewhat intermediate b/w Kaolinite and montmorillonite. The lattice is stronger than montmorillonite.
