C(OH)4  is unstable because C cannot have more than -OH molecule, thereby it loses H2O  molecules and convert into stable CO2 molecule which contain strong  pπpπ  bonds.

Si-O bond is strong because of the larger size of the silicon atom and thus, the bond energy is also high for the Si-O bond. Also, silicon cannot form strong pπpπ bonds like carbon.

Therefore, correct options are A and B
