Solution

The correct answer is:

d. HSO4_{4}^{-} is acting as a Brønsted-Lowry acid because it is donating a proton.

Here's why:

The Brønsted-Lowry definition of an acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+) to another substance. In the given reaction, HSO4_{4}^{-} is donating a proton to HO, forming HSO and OH. Therefore, HSO4_{4}^{-} is acting as a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
