Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(B>A>D>C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acidic strength of organic compounds can be determine on the basis of conjugate acid-base pairs. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) Acid Conjugate base Conjugate base strength increase with increasing…
