(A) The hydrolysis of $R_3SiCl$ produces $R_3SiOH$ as an intermediate.$R_3SiCl + H_2O \to R_3SiOH + HCl$Since $R_3SiOH$ has only one reactive $-OH$ group,it can only undergo condensation to form a dimer,$R_3Si-O-SiR_3$,and cannot form a long-chain polymer.$R_3SiOH + HOSiR_3 \to R_3Si-O-SiR_3 + H_2O$.
