Solution

The correct options are
A Both are paramagnetic.
B Both have a bent structure.
D In both oxides, the central atom has an oxidation state is +4.
From figure it can be seen that both have a bent structure.
In both oxides, the central atom has an oxidation state is +4.

As it has odd number of electrons both are paramagnetic in nature.
