Solution

Covalent oxide of metalloid:
Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ is a covalent oxide because it is formed by the sharing of electrons between the carbon and oxygen atoms.
It consists of a double covalent bond and a single coordinate covalent bond (in total, 3 covalent bonds), between carbon and oxygen atoms.
