Answer

Answer:

B. Arrhenius acid

Brief Explanations:

An Arrhenius acid produces hydronium ions ($H_3O^+$) in water by donating a hydrogen - ion ($H^+$) to water molecules. A Bronsted - Lowry acid donates a proton but the definition is more general and not specifically about producing hydronium ions in water like Arrhenius acid. Arrhenius and Bronsted - Lowry bases accept protons rather than donate them to form hydronium ions.
