CH₃ is the most basic and nucleophilic species among the given species.
- Nucleophilicity is equivalent to basicity if the electrophile is H⁺.
- Since carbon is the least electronegative of C, N, O, and F, it is least stable with a negative charge on itself.
- Hence, it is the best base as well as nucleophile amongst the given species.
