Option: 1

\left ( SiO_{2} \right )_{n}


Option: 2

\left ( SiO_{2} \right )_{n}^{2n-}


Option: 3

\left ( SiO_{3} \right )_{n}^{2n-}


Option: 4

\left ( Si_{2}O_{7} \right )_{n}^{2n-}

As we have learnt,

Cyclic or ring silicates 

Cyclic Sillicate contains  \left ( SiO_{3} \right )_{n}^{2n-} ions which are formed by linking three or more tetrahedral SiO_4 ^{4-} units. Each unit shares two oxygen atoms with other units.

Therefore, option (3) is correct.
