Answer:

C. It shows you that the formation of water is a reversible reaction, which contains hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

The equation is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

It also shows that water can behave as either an acid or a base, because it can produce both H⁺ and OH⁻ ions.

A and B are both wrong. Although the statements are correct, they don't say anything about acids and bases.
