Which molecule is considered a base in the Lewis model but not in the Bronsted-Lowry or Arrhenius model?

The Arrhenius model says something about giving hydrogen so it's that means we can get rid of B & C so we've got A or D left... and I chose A got it wrong so i assume it's D. Na2S

What are the three Acid Base Theories?
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis theories of acids and bases
CH4 acid or base?
Arrhenius acids are ones that give up protons when dissolved in water. Methane is a non-polar molecule which means it is insoluble in water and, therefore, is not an Arrhenius acid. It cannot be described as a Lewis acid or base either because it doesn't donate protons or an electron pair nor does it receive them.
What is the difference between a Lewis base and Arrhenius base?
Three different definitions for the same, ordered evolutionary:A base according to:(In all three examples ammonia is the base molecule)Arrhenius will form hydroxide (OH−) ions. Example: NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-Brønsted is a species with the ability to gain or "accept" a proton, H+, a hydrogen cation. Example: NH3 + H+ --> NH4+Lewis is any species that donates a lone pair of electrons (represented by two dots in the next example: ':' or '..' )Example: +H + :NH3 -->+H..NH3 (which is of coarse the same as NH4+)
Lewis structure of K2O?
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
A possible Lewis structure of a molecule for which more than one Lewis structure can be written is called?
Resonance

Lewis structure of K2O?
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
What does a Lewis dot show?
Lewis dot structures show how an atom's electrons work together in a certain molecule. They also show what a certain molecule will look like.
All acids ionise in water to give?
All Arrhenius acids ionize in water to give H+ ions. While Lewis acids are proton donors.
A possible Lewis structure of a molecule for which more than one Lewis structure can be written is called?
Resonance
Is H2NNH2 an arrhenius base?
Yes, ammonia is an electron pair donor and a Lewis base.
What is Lewis formula?
Lewis structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. They are also called Lewis dot diagrams, electron dot diagrams, and electron dot structures. See the link below for Lewis structure.
What do you use to draw a Lewis structure of either molecule or atom?
dots
What would be considered a base and an acid?
There are three definitions for acids and bases. Arrhenius definition: An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen (H+) ions in water while a base produces hydroxide (OH-) ions. Bronsted-Lowry definition: An acid gives up or donates a proton (H+) to another molecule while a base accepts a proton. Lewis definition: An acid accepts an electron pair in bonding to another molecule/ion while a base donates and electron pair. Note that if a substance meets one of the first two definitions it probably meets the others as well.
How do scientists know that the correct Lewis structure for an oxygen molecule is not as predicted?
They run experiments that can determine the bond strength of a molecule.
