Solution
The correct option is BV2O3 and CrO As metallic character decreases as we move across the period then basicity of oxides increases.
Also, we know oxide in lowest oxidation state of element is more basic. So, in V2O3 and CrO, oxidation state of V and Cr are +3 and +2 respectively which is lowest among others.
