Solution

The correct option is A Cl s a Bronsted-Lowry base
An Arrenhius acid releases H+ ions while an Arrenhius base is a substance that releases OH ions in an aqueous solution.
HNO3 releases H+ ions and hence, it acts as an Arrenhius acid.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a H+ ion donor while a Bronsted-Lowry base is a H+ ion acceptor.
NH3 acts a Bronsted Lowry base as it accepts a hydrogen ion to form NH+4.
