Solution

The correct option is D V2O5,Cr2O3

In chemistry, an amphoteric species is a molecule or ion which can react as an acid as well as a base. This word is derived from the Greek word amphotericin which is meant for "both". Many metals like zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, beryllium, etc form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides.

Here both V2O5 and Cr2O3 can show the property of acidic as well as basic oxide both.

Thus option A is correct.
