Answer:

A.) Brønsted-Lowry bases

Step-by-step explanation:

Amines have a lone pair of electrons.

Brønsted-Lowry bases donate a lone pair of electrons in exchange for a hydrogen ion.

Therefore, if exposed to an acid, amines will give up electrons in order to bond with a hydrogen. This makes them Brønsted-Lowry bases.
