inorganic. Organic acids end in the formula -COOH like ethanoic (acetic) acid CH3COOH. Inorganic acids begin with H like Hydrochloric HCl Nitric HNO3 Sulphuric H2SO4 This is a convention in writing, but pretty widely used.

Both. Some inorganic acids include: HCL (hydrochloric acid), H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), HNO3 (nitric acid). However there are quite a few acids that are organic too: acetic acid (CH3CO2H) - found in vinegar; formic acid (HCO2H); and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The inorganic acids are stronger acids (i.e. have a lower pH) than organic acids.
Hydroiodic acid is inorganic because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds. It is made up of hydrogen and iodine atoms.
Iodine itself is not an acid, but rather a chemical element. It can form inorganic acids when combined with hydrogen, such as hydroiodic acid (HI). Organic acids, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon as part of their structure.
The common name of hydroiodic acid is simply "hydroiodic acid".
The best answer would be hydroiodic acid (HI), which is a binary acid formed from iodine and hydrogen. It is a strong acid that is commonly used in organic synthesis and chemical reactions.
Nucleic acid is an organic compound.
Sulfamic acid is classified as an inorganic acid because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds that are characteristic of organic compounds. It is a derivative of sulfuric acid but is considered inorganic due to its chemical structure.
