Answer:

BF3

Step-by-step explanation:

BF3 possesses an open sextet. This implies that the octet around the central atom is incomplete. As a result of this, BF3 will function as an electrophile rather than as a nucleophile.

Hence of all the compounds listed in the options, BF3 is the least nucleophillic.
