Solution

The correct option is B False
The statement is false. Neutral Oxides are oxides which do not react with acids and bases. Neutral oxides do not react with water and form acid or base thus not changing the colour of litmus paper. $N O, N_{2} O$ and $C O$ are some examples of neutral oxides.
