Conjugate acid of NH₂⁻ :

Conjugate acid of $NH_2^-$ :
A $NH_4OH$
B $NH_4^+$
C $NH^{2-}$
D $NH_3$

Detailed Solution

A conjugate acid is formed when a base accepts one proton ($H^+$).
$NH_2^- + H^+ \rightarrow NH_3$
So the conjugate acid of the amide ion $NH_2^-$ is $NH_3$. ($NH_4^+$ is the conjugate acid of $NH_3$, and $NH^{2-}$ is the conjugate base of $NH_2^-$.)
