Answer

Answer:

A. $NH_{4}^{+}$

Brief Explanations:

According to the Bronsted - Lowry theory, an acid is a proton ($H^{+}$) donor. In the given reaction, $NH_{4}^{+}$ donates a proton to become $NH_{3}$, while $HPO_{4}^{2 - }$ acts as a base accepting the proton to form $H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}$. So $NH_{4}^{+}$ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid.
