Solution

The correct option is C X2O3,amphoteric
From the electronic configuration, we can say that elements belongs to the 13th group in the periodic table. The oxide will be either B2O3 or Al2O3 . These oxides have the property of reacting with both acids as well as bases to form salts so it is amphoteric in nature.
