The answer is dead simple if you understand and learnt the principles of a Lowry-Bronsted acid...
Think about it and you should be able to answer this question on your own - give you a hint - what is a proton-donor and why is it important?
Don't cheat! I'll give you the answer below...
MgO.
Lowry-Bronsted specified that an 'acid' has the ability to donate a proton, since all those compounds you have above have 'H' in them except one, then it should scream out to you like a second nature;-). You have to understand the principles my friend, otherwise if they throw a nasty one in there like 'CO2' then it could be really tricky;-).
cheers!
