Solution

The correct option is C $N O < N_{2} O_{3} < N_{2} O_{4} < N_{2} O_{5}$
The acidic nature of the oxides of nitrogen can be determined by the strength of the acid formed by the nitrogen oxide in water. The acidic strength of nitrogen oxides follows this order:
$N_{2} O < N O < N_{2} O_{3} < N_{2} O_{4} < N_{2} O_{5}$
$N_{2} O_{5}$ forms nitric acid $(H N O_{3})$ in water, which is a very strong acid.
