Solution

The correct option is C $H_{3} N \to B C l_{3}$
Greater is the tendency to donate lone pairs of electrons more stable will be the lewis acid-base adduct. On comparing options (c) and (d), $N H_{3}$ is good electron donar than $P H_{3}$ because charge density of $N H_{3}$ is higher than $P H_{3}$ .
