Dioxide.  I wish it gave the trioxide.  That would make me so happy.

How is it A?  If you work out how much oxygen is consumed per mole of material you do not get straight line.  Mg uses ½ a mole of O2, Al uses 3/4 and S uses 2. If we make the denominator all 4 that gives 2, 3 and 8 as the y values so D gives the correct shape graph.

But S uses only 1 mole.... and I looked into the examiner's report... it says the question was cancelled :/

Yes you are right ignore everything I said.  It should be 1/2, 3/4 and 1 which is a straight line.
