The correct answer for the above question is Amphiprotic species.
Amphiprotic species are species that have both acidic and basic properties. A good example is an amino acid since it contains both a weak acid and a weak base functional group. Amphoteric oxides such as aluminium oxides can react with both acids and bases to produce salt and water are also examples.
