Answer:

A is non metal

Explanation: The element A has to be a non metal as it forms an oxide which is acidic which is a characteristic of non metals. Non metals have a property that they form acidic oxides with oxygen. As element A also "forms an acidic oxide" with oxygen so we can conclude that element A is a non metal.
