The correct answer is #option (2)#

Explanation:

The reaction is :

#4A(s) +3O_2(g)rarr 2A_2O_3(s)#

#0.359 g # of A reacts with oxygen to give #=0.559g# of oxide

Let the atomic mass unit of #a# be #m_a#

Then,

#(4m_a+6*16)/(4m_a)=0.559/0.359#

#4m_a+96=6.23m_a#

#m_a=96/2.23=43.08 " amu "#

The correct answer is #option (2)#
