Solution

The correct option is A I, II and III
(I) Amphoteric oxides are the oxides that react with both acids and bases to form salt and water. Thus, $S n O_{2}$ react with both $H C l$ (an acid) and $N a O H$ (base) to give salt and water.
(II) $O_{3}$ has a bent structure.

(III) The oxidation state of the sulfur atom bonded to 3 oxygen atoms is +5 while the oxidation number of other sulfur atom is +3.
