Q. Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature?

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Electron deficient species are known as electrophiles. Among the given, $H _{3} \overset{\oplus}{O}$ has lone pair of electrons for donation, so it is not electron deficient and hence, not an electrophile.
