Answer:

Acid contain a Non metal

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that compounds that consist of hydrogen bound to a non metal are known as nonmetal hydrides as they contain hydrogen in the state of +1 oxidation state, therefore these compounds will act as source of the H+ ion in water.

Now non metal oxides when it gets dissolved in water will form what we call acids. So acids contain non metals which is the required statement.
