According to this reaction, serves as the base. ch3oh + hi --> ch3oh2 +i-

a : ch3oh2+

b : hi

c : ch3oh

d : i-

C : CH₃OH

Explanation:

According to the concept of Bronsted - Lowry -

An acid is a substance , that can give a proton .

A base is a substance , that can take a proton .

According to the reaction given in the question ,

CH₃OH   +   HI   -->    CH₃OH₂⁺   +  I⁻

From , the above reaction ,

It is visible that , the reactant CH₃OH accepts a proton and forms CH₃OH₂⁺  , thereby acting as a base ,

And ,  HI act as an acid , as is losses a proton and becomes  I⁻ .

Hence ,

In the above reaction ,  CH₃OH act as a base .

the answer is c
