A is definately correct. SiO2 is present in large amounts in almost all minerals (The silicates are by far the most abundant mineral group)
Second question = A shallow sea is best choice, although both are evaporites and would most likely be formed as either the sea evaporated, or in a playa setting (dry lake bed in a desert)
