Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) III \(>\) I \(>\) II \(>\) IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acidic character of oxides in group 15 to 18 elements decreases down the group. As we move down the group, the atomic size increases and electronegativity decreases. The oxide in the higher oxidation state of the elements is more acidic than that of lower oxidation state. In…
