A buffer solution is defined as a solution that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Its main function is to stabilize the pH, not just increase or decrease it, and it doesn't necessarily act as a neutral solution (buffers can be acidic or basic in nature but resist pH changes). So the correct choice related to what a buffer should do is to stabilize pH.
