Solution
The correct option is A sulphur dioxide
The oxides of metal are called metallic oxide, and they are basic in nature. The oxides of non-metals are called non-metallic oxide, and they are acidic in nature.
Non-metallic oxides react with water to form acidic solution.
When sulphur dioxide is dissolved in water, sulphurous acid is formed, that turns blue litmus to red.
