Solution

The correct option is C $M g O$
Explanation:
Zinc oxide $Z n O$ , Tin(IV) oxide or $S n O_{2}$ , Aluminum oxide $A l_{2} O_{3}$ are all amphoteric substances, meaning they can react with both acids and bases.

But in $M g O$ , Magnesium is a metal and like most of the metals, it forms basic oxides. It is a basic oxide and contains oxide ions.
Hence it will not react with both acid and alkali.

Option D is correct.
