A.)biochemistry
B.)organic chemistry
C.)inorganic chemistry
D.)analytical chemistry

Answer 1

C). Inorganic Chemistry

Step-by-step explanation:

Inorganic chemistry is characterized as the branch of chemistry that deals with the elements(including carbon) and those compounds which do not contain carbon includes minerals, metals, inorganic, organometallic compounds. As we know, 'Silicone' is characterized as a semi-inorganic polymeric compound that possesses a wide range of thermal stability and extreme water repellence. Thus, it is classified as a part of inroganic chemistry. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
