Which one is the answer?

According to the Bronsted-Lowry definition,
an acid is a proton acceptor.
an acid acts as the solvent.
a base is a proton donor.
a base is a proton acceptor.
a base produces H+ ions in aqueous solutions.

Answer:
A base is proton acceptor according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition. An acid is a proton (H+) donor.

Since H is one proton and one electron, when the electron is removed to make H+ the only thing left is the proton. Therefore a proton is actually the same as H+ ion.
proton donor
An acid acts as the solvent.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as any substance that can donate a proton and a Bronsted-Lowry base is any substance that can accept a proton. Therefore a base is a proton acceptor..
i think an acid is a proton donor (H+) and a base is a proton acceptor (OH- accepts the H+) please double check.
