Solution

The correct option is A (CH3)3N
All molecules or ions with a free pair of electrons or atleast one pi bond can act as nucleophiles.
Trimethylamine (CH3)3N has unshared electrons which they donate making them nucleophiles.
BF3 is electron deficient.
NO2+ is electron deficient.
CH3C+=O is electron deficient
