- BNH3
- CBF3
- DOH

Correct answer: C
The species which have a lone pair of electrons to donate or a negative charge on it can act as a Lewis base. Here, N atom in NH3 and O atom in H2O have lone pair of electrons available for donation. In OH– the negative charge on it results in to behave it as a Lewis base. But BF3 is an electron deficient species thus, it is least likely to behave as Lewis base.
