Solution

 a skew-symmetric matrix 

Here,

  =

\[\begin{bmatrix}0 & 5 & - 7 \\ - 5 & 0 & 11 \\ 7 & - 11 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]

\[\Rightarrow\]AT = 

\[\begin{bmatrix}0 & - 5 & 7 \\ 5 & 0 & - 11 \\ - 7 & 11 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]

\[\Rightarrow A^T = - \begin{bmatrix}0 & 5 & - 7 \\ - 5 & 0 & 11 \\ 7 & - 11 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]

\[ \Rightarrow A^T = - A\]

Thus, A is a skew-symmetric matrix.
