Solution

The correct option is D $B e (O H)_{2}$
$B e (O H)_{2}$ is amphoteric in nature, since it can react with both acids and bases.

$B e (O H)_{2}$ + $2 H C l$ $⟶$ $B e C l_{2}$ + $2 H_{2} O$

$B e (O H)_{2}$ + $2 N a O H$ $⟶$ $N a_{2} [B e (O H)_{4}]$

$S r (O H)_{2}$ , $C a (O H)_{2}$ and $M g (O H)_{2}$ are basic in nature.
