Solution

The correct option is A Solvents which do not readily donate H+
Solvents which contain H-atoms bonded to a higher electronegative atom and readily donate $H^{+}$ are known as polar protic solvent.
For example : $C H_{3} O H, H_{2} O, C H_{3} C O O H e t c .$

Solvents which do not readily donate $H^{+}$ are known as polar aprotic solvent. hydrogen bonding is not present in polar aprotic solvent.
For example : DMSO, Acetone, Diethylether, Acetonitrile etc.
