Explanation:

Brønsted-Lowry acids donate protons ($\text{H}^+$) and Brønsted-Lowry bases accept protons in aqueous systems. When a proton is transferred, water acts as either a proton acceptor (forming $\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$) or a proton donor (forming $\text{OH}^-$), and water is the solvent present in all such aqueous systems.

Answer:

Water (or $\text{H}_2\text{O}$)
