Answer:

B: Transfer of protons

Step-by-step explanation:

An acid by definition is a substance that can transfer a proton to another substance while a base is a substance that cab accept a proton.

A proton is a subatomic particle with a positive charge, present in the nucleus of an atom.

An example of an acid base reaction is dissolving sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in water

A proton from sulfuric acid is transferred to water. This proton transfer reaction between the strong acid and weak base, converts water into hydronium ion and sulfuric acid into bisulfate ion.

Chemical reaction:

H2SO4+H2O → HSO4−+H3O+
