(b) Both oxidized and reduced
Explanation:
H₂O+ Br₂ ----> HOBr + HBr
In the above reaction, Bromine gets both oxidized and reduced. Bromine gets oxidized to form HOBr. Bromine also gets simultaneously reduced to HBr. So the best description of the behavior of Bromine in the given reaction is that it gets both oxidized and reduced.
Option B is the answer.
