Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option C: Mica.

Explanation:

• The world's largest producer of mica is India.
• It has up to $80$% of the world's total Mica deposits.
• Due to its excellent insulating qualities, mica is a significant non-metallic material that is mostly used in the electrical industry.

• The silicate mineral family known as micas is distinguished by the ease with which individual mica crystals can break into incredibly thin elastic plates.
• Perfect basal cleavage is the term used to describe this feature.

• Sheet and block mica are primarily used as thermal insulators, gauge "glass," windows for stoves and kerosene heaters, dielectrics in capacitors, decorative panels for lamps and windows, electrical insulators for electronic equipment, field coil insulation, and other applications.
