Detailed Solution

The relative nucleophilicity of NH3, H2O and HF towards bromoethane is NH3>H2O>HF.

Anions like Cl- or substances with a single pair of electrons like NH3 (ammonia), PR3, are examples of nucleophiles. In the example below, the oxygen of the hydroxide ion gives an electron pair to the carbon at the end of the bromopropane molecule to create a new chemical bond.

Hence, option B is correct.
