Solution

The correct option is D $T i O > V O > C r O > F e O$
Oxides of transition metals in low oxidation state +2 and +3 $(M O, M_{2} O_{4}, a n d M_{2} O_{3})$ are generally basic except $C r_{2} O_{3}$ which is amphoteric in character.

The basic character generally decreases with an increase in atomic number.

The correct order of basic character of the transition metal monoxides is $T i O > V O > C r O > F e O$

Hence, option D is correct.
