Answer:
Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Step-by-step explanation:
According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.
