Solution

The correct option is C HF2
H3O+ has one coordinate bond formed using the empty orbital of H+ and the lone pair of oxygen atom (in H2O).

BF4 forms a coordinate bond using the empty 2p orbital of B in BF3 and the lone pair of F.

HF2 does not have any coordinate bond

In NH+4, the lone pair on nitrogen (in NH3) forms coordinate bond with H+. N donates its lone pair to the vacant orbital of H+.
