Solution

The correct option is C Oxide of aluminium
Law of multiple proportion is applied only on binary compounds whose constituent particles combine together to form more than one compounds. Since constituent of $A l_{2} O_{3}$ form only one xompound that is aluminium oxide $(A l_{2} O_{3})$ , therefore law of multiple proportion is not obeyed by oxide of aluminium.
