Nitrogen gas.

Explanation:

The solvent is that component of a solution which constitutes a larger proportion of the solution. In your question, $"N"_2$ constitutes $82%$ , $"Ar"$ constitutes $15%$ , and $"O"_2$ constitutes $3%$ .

So nitrogen gas should be the solvent as it constitutes the largest proportion out of the three.
