If product is not an oxy acid,neither with $-ic$ suffix nor with $-ous$ suffix.

(D) $SF_6$ is an extremely stable molecule due to steric hindrance and the absence of vacant $d$-orbitals accessible for bonding with water molecules. It does not undergo hydrolysis at room temperature $(R.T.)$. Since there is no reaction,no oxy acid is formed. Therefore,the product is not an oxy acid,and it does not possess an $-ic$ or $-ous$ suffix.
