Answer:

NH₃ (Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrhenius theory explained that the acids are the ones that have H⁺, either H in its formula. Following this, the bases are the ones that have OH⁻ , either OH and its formula.

It can be used only with compounds with H, or OH.

So the ammonia is not a base, as Arrhenius theory.

It is known that ammonia behaves as a weak base, but it does not have hydroxide ions that can yield to water
