Solution

The correct option is B these oxides are unstable and changes to $X_{2} a n d O_{2}$ .
If formation of these oxides, free energy is positive then for reverse reaction, free energy is negative and reaction is spontaneous so they are unstable and breaks into reactants.

Hence,option B is correct.
