(A) The acidic character of oxides of elements in a group decreases as we move down the group because the metallic character increases.For the group $15$ elements,the oxides are $N_2O_3, P_2O_3, As_2O_3, Sb_2O_3, Bi_2O_3$.$N_2O_3$ and $P_2O_3$ are acidic,$As_2O_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ are amphoteric,and $Bi_2O_3$ is basic.Among the given options,$P_2O_3$ is the most acidic because phosphorus is the least metallic (most non-metallic) element among the choices provided.

Which of the following compounds is the most acidic?
