Answer:

C The water accepts a proton from the hydrogen chloride.

Explanation:

The equation given in this question where hydrogen chloride reacts with water is as follows:

HCI + H2O → CI- + H3O+

From this equation, hydrogen chloride (HCl) loses or donates hydrogen ion (H+) or proton to water (H2O), which accepts it to become hydronium ion. Hence, in a nutshell, water (H2O) accepts a proton (H+) from the hydrogen chloride (HCl) in this reaction.
