Solution

The correct option is A acids
The oxides of non-metals are acidic. If a non-metal oxide dissolves in water, it will form an acid.
For example, sulphur trioxide (non-metal oxide) reacts with water to form sulphuric acid.
The chemical reaction involved is:
${SO}_{3} (g) + H_{2} O(l) \to H_{2} {SO}_{4} (aq)$
