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.

Only Answer B is right. Actually Illite is a group of closely related non-expanding clay minerals. Option C and D are directly responsible for swelling. Option A is near to right but B is clearly non-expanding material.
