    The answer is D.

    Explanation:

    We have to look at the definitions of Arrhenius acids and bases and Bronsted acids and bases.

    Arrhenius acids dissociate in water to produce H⁺ ions, whereas Arrhenius bases dissociate in water to produce OH⁻ ions.

    Bronsted acids donate protons and Bronsted bases accept protons.

    In this case, NO⁻ does not produce H⁺ or OH⁻ ions in solution. However, NO⁻ becomes the product HNO, which means it accepted an H⁺ ion, making NO⁻ a Bronsted base.
