Solution

The correct option is D $I n C l_{3}$
The acidic character in a p-block element decreases down the group.
$I n C l_{3}$ is the weakest lewis acid because the stability of forming $+ 3$ oxidation state decreases down the group.

Stability of forming $+ 3$ oxidation state- $A l C l_{3} > G a C l_{3} > I n C l_{3}$ (due to inert pair effect)
