Answer:

The correct option is: D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Explanation:    

Ammonia is a hydride of nitrogen with the chemical formula NH₃. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal structure.  

In water, ammonia acts as a Lewis base due to the presence of lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Lewis bases are electron pair or lone pair donors.
