Answer 1

The correct option is B.
A Bronsted Lowry [which is usually a Lewis base] base can donate a pair of electrons to the hydrogen ion. The proton is a Lewis acid and it can accept a pair of electrons.
A Lewis acid is a substance that can accept a pair of non bonding electrons while a Lewis base is a substance which can donate a pair of non bonding electrons.
