Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hydronium ion is an ion that contains three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Formula of a hydronium ion is
H_(3)O^(+).

Whereas water is a molecular compound with chemical formula
H_(2)O^.

Hydroxide ion has formula
OH^(-) and a hydrogen ion has formula
H^(+).

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options
H_(3)O^(+) is a hydronium ion.
