Solution

The correct option is A True
In terms of redox, water behaves much as it did in acid-base reactions, where we found it to be amphiprotic.

In the presence of a strong electron donor (strong reducing agent) water serve as oxidising agent.

In presence of a strong electron acceptor water serve as reducing agent.
