Answer:

b ) NH₄⁺ is a stronger acid than H₂O ( l )

Explanation:

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ = NH₃ + H₂O .

NH₄⁺ is a conjugate acid of NH₃

OH⁻ is a conjugate base of H₂O .

NH₄⁺ is capable of giving H⁺ to OH⁻ to produce H₂O so it is stronger acid than H₂O .

Had H₂O been stronger , it would have given H⁺ to NH₃ to produce NH₄⁺ but it does not happen .

So NH₄⁺ is a stronger acid than H₂O ( l )  .
