Metal oxides forms bases and non metal oxides forms acids when they react with water. Metal oxides when they reacted with water it produces bases. Hence, option A is correct.

Non metals are generally not malleable as they can not be beaten into thin sheets. Substance which can be beaten into thin sheets are called malleable. Hence, option A is correct.

Non metals are generally solids and gases.They do not exist  as liquids except Bromine.Bromine is liquid.
Hence option B is correct.
