    Answer:

    It accepted a proton from HCl

    Explanation:

    When properly written, the equation box the reaction is given as; HCl(aq) + H2O(l) —-> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq).

    According to Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid donates protons while a base accepts protons.

    Water molecule acts as a base in the reaction because it accepted a proton from HCl in the reaction above.
