That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
NH₄⁺ is known as the ammonium ion. In chemistry, it's a positively charged polyatomic ion (ion with more than one atom). It's formed by the protonation of ammonia (NH₃). The other options in the list—nitrite (NO₂⁻), nitrate (NO₃⁻), hydroxide (OH⁻), and acetate (CH₃COO⁻)—are names of different ions and don't correspond to the given chemical formula, NH₄⁺.
