✓ Answer: A Acidic
Non-metal oxides are generally acidic in nature. They react with bases to form salt and water. For example, carbon dioxide reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate and water: CO2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + H2O. Some non-metal oxides, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), are neutral; therefore, 'acidic' is the usual or general property rather than an absolute rule.
