Answer:(4) ----accepts  a proton

Explanation:

H2O water can produce both hydrogen and   hydroxide ions

H2O --> H+ + OH-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or  can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,

When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg

HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in  water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.

Alkene on Hydration yield Alcohols. When Asymmetric Alkenes are treated with water in the presence of acid they follow Markovnikoff rule, and the Hydrogen of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contain more number of Hydrogen atoms. The reverse (Anti-Markovnikoff) is done by carrying out Hydroboration reaction.In this case the Hydrogen atom of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contains less number of Hydrogen atoms. In this reaction both -H and -OH adds in syn fashion. The Hydroboration reaction of Chloestrol is shown below,
