Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. So, if a compound doesn't have a proton, it cannot be a Bronsted-Lowry acid. (Now, you have to be careful, because a lot of compounds have protons, but can't give them to something else, but that's not a problem in this question.)
So, A, C and E are all Bronsted-Lowry acids. C is hypochlorous acid.
