(a)
Interpretation:
Either
Concept Introduction:
Basic character of different oxides of the same element increases with decreasing oxidation number of an element.
Oxidation number: Oxidation number is defined as degree of oxidation (ie. loss of an electrons) of an atom within the chemical compound.
There is slightly difference between oxidation state and oxidation number. In oxidation state, there is electronegativity of an atom in a bond should be considered. However, when describing oxidation number, electronegativity does not considered.
