Solution

The correct option is C Lewis
In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

This is because this theory can't able to predict the reactions of acids and base. This theory fails to explain the coordinate bond formed by HCl like acids.

Hence, the correct option is $C$
