Answer»

Right ANSWER is (a) Acids

To explain I would say: The oxygen compounds of sulfur represent the class of ‘oxoacids’ of sulfur. Generally, a non-metallic oxide is usually ACIDIC in NATURE (given that exceptions like CO, N2O, NO). EXAMPLES include SULFUROUS acid (H2SO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and many more.
