In the equation, the Brønsted-Lowry base is defined as a molecule or ion that can accept a proton (H+). The two bases in this equation are OHS1U1P1−S1S1P0, which can accept a proton to form HS1U1B0S1U1P1−S1S1P0, and NHS1U1B13S1U1B0, which can accept a proton to form NHS1U1B14S1U1B0S1U1P1+S1S1P0. Therefore, option B is the best choice because it correctly identifies both bases.
