As we learn

Chain Silicates -

Sharing of two oxygen atoms per tetrahedron leads to formation of a long chain

E.g. pyroxenes and asbestos

Pyroxenes share a common structure consisting of single chains of silica tetrahidral Pyroxenes that Crystallize in the monoclinic system are called clinopyroxenes & those that crystallize in the orthorhombic system are known as orthopyroxenes.

Therefore, option (1) is correct.
