Feldspar, any of a group of aluminosilicate minerals that contain calcium, sodium, or potassium. Feldspars make up more than half of Earth's crust, and professional literature about them constitutes a large percentage of the literature of mineralogy.
The mineralogical composition of most feldspars can be expressed in terms of the ternary system Orthoclase (KAlSi3O8), Albite (NaAlSi3O8), and Anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8). Chemically, the feldspars are silicates of aluminum, containing sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, or barium or combinations of these elements.
Zeolites transform to other minerals under weathering, hydrothermal alteration, or metamorphic conditions.
Zeolites are crystalline solids structures made of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen that form a framework with cavities and channels inside where cations, water, and/or small molecules may reside. They are often also referred to as molecular sieves.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
