Kaolinite is very stable group of soil which does not allow any shrinkage and swelling effect. China clay is best example of this group hence correct answer is option "A".

Kaolinite is nonexpendable, because of its strong hydrogen bond. So, the right answer is A.

A is the correct answer because of no swelling & shrinkage.

Kaolinite a highly stable 1:1 (silica: gibbsite) mineral which is non-swelling with a relatively small surface area, and low adsorptive capacity.
So, the correct answer is Kaolinite.
So, the correct answer is Kaolinite.
