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.

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

@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.
