Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Neutral oxides are those which do not form acids or bases when they react with $H_{2} O$ . In other words, the resulting solution is neutral.
1. $C O + H_{2} O ⟶ C O_{2} + H_{2}$

2. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitric oxide (NO) are neutral gaseous oxides of nitrogen. These two nitrogen oxides do not react with water to form oxoacids such as $H N O_{2} a n d H N O_{3}$ .
