  1. NH4+ and NH3 Pair

    NH4+ is Proton Donor  ( Acid )

    NH3 is Proton Acceptor  ( Conjugate Base )

    Other pairs :  

    First and Second Pairs do not have Proton Donor

    H2 in Third Pair is not a Proton Acceptor


  2. ACID-BASE pairs are just that - acids that give a base when H+ is removed. There is only one here that satisfies that. All the others are redox pairs.

    The acid base pair for H3O+ is H3O+ : H2O
