Vedclass · Answer

(C) In group $16$,the metallic character increases as we move down the group from $O$ to $Po$. Metallic oxides are generally basic in nature,while non-metallic oxides are acidic. Since $Po$ is a metal,its oxide $PoO$ is the most basic among the given options. As we move down the group,the electronegativity of the element decreases,which leads to an increase in the basic character of the corresponding oxides.
