Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Nitrogen differs from rest of the members of group 15 due to its small size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and non-availability of d orbitals. Nitrogen has unique ability to form pa - pa multiple bonds with itself and with other elements having small size and high electronegativity. Heavier elements of this group do not form pa - pr bonds as their atomic orbitals are so large and diffuse that they cannot have effective overlapping.
Group 15 elements forms oxides of type \(E _2 O _3\). Acidic oxides are formed by
A. Bi
B. Sb
C. P
D. As
E. N
