HELP WiiTH CHEMiiSTRY?

Question: In the reaction: H2O + H2O <--> H3O+ + OH- The water is a- a proton donor, only b- a proton acceptor, only c- both a proton donor and a proton acceptor d- neither a proton donor nor a proton acceptor thanks in advance =)

Answer: [Answer: C] One H2O molecule will be a proton donor (say, the 1st one), so it becomes OH- in the products. The other H2O molecule will be a proton acceptor (say, the 2nd one), so it will become a hydronium ion (H3O+) in the products.
