Solution

The correct options are
A $C O$
C $N_{2} O$
Neutral oxides are those oxides which show neither basic nor acidic properties when they react with water. Examples include carbon monoxide $(C O)$ and nitrous oxide ( $N_{2} O$ ) which are only slightly soluble in water, and nitric oxide (NO) which is appreciably soluble in cold water.So $Z n O$ and $S n O_{2}$ are not neutral oxides. Hence option A & C are correct.
