In the acid-base reaction: F - (aq)+ HNO 3 (aq) HF(aq)+ NO 3 - (aq)

In the given reaction, HNO 3 is donating a proton (acting as a base) to F - (acting as an acid). Thus, HNO 3 is the acid and its conjugate base is NO 3 - (aq). On the other hand, F - is the base and its conjugate acid is HF. Therefore, option B is correct.
