Amphiprotic substances are those which can both accept and donate protons.
C) is the right answer because the equilibrium
H2SO4 <----> HSO4- has a large equilibrium constant, implying the forward direction is strongly preferred. So it cannot accept a proton though it can lose a proton to form SO42-.
