Correct Option: C
In the Brønsted-Lowry theory, a conjugate acid-base pair consists of an acid and a base that are related by the transfer of a proton. In this case, H3O+ (hydronium ion) acts as the conjugate acid, donating a proton, while OH- (hydroxide ion) acts as the conjugate base, accepting the proton.
