$\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ with propanone forms a charge transfer complex and $\mathrm{I}_{2}$ forms triiodide anion with $\mathrm{I}^{-}$. This implies that
(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
