@Mustak Ahmed.
You are wrong, Ionic bond is stronger than hydrogen bond.
Ionic bond>covalent bond>hydrogen bond> dipole-dipole bond> van der wall bond.

Answer will be kaolinite as hydrogen bond is present in kaolinite, which is stronger then the ionic bond which is present in illite group.

Option A is correct,
Kaolinite is made of 1-1 composition of silica and gibbsite with a strong hydrogen bond due to which water doesn't percolates into it, so it doesn't show any swelling and shrinkage property.
