    C. H₃O⁺ is a Bronsted Lowry base.

    Explanation:

    Any substance that accepts hydrogen ions or (H⁺) ions or protons during any chemical reaction is termed as a Bronsted Lowry base.

    Here HCl donates a proton so it is not a Bronsted Lowry base.

    HCO is also not a Bronsted Lowry base.

    H₃O⁺ is a Bronsted Lowry base because it accepts H⁺ ion from one of its reactant.

    H₃PO₄ is also not a Bronsted Lowry base.

    So option C. H₃O⁺ is a Bronsted Lowry base.
