3. Acidic oxide - (B) Blue litmus to red

(Explanation: Acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals like carbon dioxide turns blue litmus to red due to their acidic nature.)

4. Aluminium- (C) Electric wire

(Explanation: Ductility is the property by which metals can be drawn into wires. Electric wire can be drawn from Aluminium as it is a metal.)

5. Sodium Chloride -  (D) Table salt
