The answer to your question is "Boric Acid" .
In order to know the reason, first we look into the formulas of each acid.
Formula of Acetic Acid is:
CH₃COOH
Formula of Boric Acid is:
H₃BO₃
Formula of Carbonic Acid is:
H₂CO₃
Formula of Citric Acid is:
C₆H₈O₇
Formula of Oxalic Acid is:
C₂H₂O₄
It is clear that, Boric acid does not have carbon element while all other acids have carbon as their essential element.
This is the main reason due to which it is odd one among other acids.
Hope it helps.Thanks.

The odd one out in the above list of acids is boric acid. This is because Carbonic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid are all organic acids whereas boric acid is a monobasic Lewis acid if boron. Therefore boric acid is the odd one out.
