$\mathrm{Br_2}$ with propanone forms a charge transfer complex and $\mathrm{I_2}$ forms triiodide anion with $\mathrm{I^-}$. This implies that [CSIR-DEC 2017]
(a)both $\mathrm{Br_2}$ and $\mathrm{I_2}$ act as bases
(b)both $\mathrm{Br_2}$ and $\mathrm{I_2}$ act as acids
(c)$\mathrm{Br_2}$ acts as an acid and $\mathrm{I_2}$ acts as a base
(d)$\mathrm{Br_2}$ acts as a base and $\mathrm{I_2}$ acts an an acid
