Answer:

b. a H+ ion

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of conjugate acid-base pair is related to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory and according to this theory, acid is a proton acceptor.

In short,

conjugate base is formed when an acid donates a proton.

conjugate acid is formed when a base accepts a proton.
