Explanation / Answer

Answer ) 3 hydrogen donar are pressnt in Beta2 H146.

Because, there is one positive charge and 2 carbon atom attached with hydrogen, when high Electronegative atom binds to either positive charge or carbon atom, carbon atom will tend to donate its hydrogen to high EN Atom attached to it, and hence acts as a Hydrogen donar.
