Answer:
Al2O3
Explanation:
How I guess that.......I just focus that it's molecular farmula is M2O3. oxidation state of M is +3 .....that give you an idea that there are 80% chances that M belongs to group 13th group containing bronon , aluminium etc.
I choose Al because Al2O3 is being used at more place with acid as well as bases.
with acid
Al2O3 + HCl ----------------> AlCl3 + H2O
with bases
Al2O3 + NaOH ----------------> NaAlO2 + H2O
