Solution

The correct option is B Both oxides are neutral in nature
only option B is incorrect Both oxides are neutral in nature
Neutral oxides show neither basic nor acidic properties and hence do not form salts when reacted with acids or bases, e.g., carbon monoxide (CO); nitrous oxide (N2O); nitric oxide (NO), etc., are neutral oxides
