Which of the following is amphoteric?

(1/1)

kkrizka:
This is a question that appeared on my last test. There is a small problem with it. But the teacher says it is still valid because there is a  small chance of one of them being ampotheric. I'm just wondering, which one do you think it is?

Which of the following is amphoteric?
a H2Mo2+
b CH4
c Mo-
d H+

Mitch:
How could Mo be minus?

kkrizka:
It's one of the choices on the test.

Mitch:
Its not chemically inert methane. ;)

It is easier to reject such a stupid examples.

To kkrizka - amphoteric, means - it can react with acid and bases to form reasonable compounds.
