Solution

The correct option is B $N_{2} O_{3} > {C O}_{2} > B_{2} O_{3} > B e O > {L i}_{2} O$
Non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.Acidic nature of oxide will increase with increase in non-metallic character. Across period non-metallic character increases from left to right.
So correct order of acidity is:
$N_{2} O_{3} > C O_{2} > B_{2} O_{3} > B e O > L i_{2} O$
