Step 1: Concept
Properties of silicones.
Step 2: Meaning
Silicones are organosilicon polymers with Si-O-Si linkages.
Step 3: Analysis
They are hydrophobic (I), thermally stable (II), and have high dielectric strength (IV). They are resistant to oxidation (III is incorrect).
Step 4: Conclusion
I, II, and IV are correct properties.
Final Answer: (A)
