Out of the given options, CaO is a basic oxide. Basic oxides are also called alkaline oxides or simply bases, which have a pH value greater than 7. When they react with water, they produce metal hydroxides, which are also bases. CaO, or calcium oxide, is a metal oxide that reacts with water to produce Ca(OH)2, which is a strong base. In contrast, NO2 and SO2 are acidic oxides, and Al2O3 is an amphoteric oxide, which means it can behave as either an acid or a base depending on the conditions.
