3. Brønsted-Lowry base
Explanation:
According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
1.
As is donating a proton , it acts as a bronsted acid.
2.
As contains a lone pair of electron on nitrogen , it can easily donate electrons to
and act as lewi base.
3.
As is accepting a proton , it acts as a bronsted base.
