JEE MainChemistryAlcohols Phenols and EthersMCQ+4 / −1
The strongest acid from the following is
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
The question asks for the strongest acid among four options, but the actual structures/formulas for options A, B, C, and D are missing in the prompt.
Without the identities of the compounds, it is not possible to determine acidity order.
What is needed
To solve this, I need the chemical structures or names corresponding to:
- Option A
- Option B
- Option C
- Option D
Why the answer cannot be derived
Acid strength in the chapter Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers depends on factors such as:
- resonance stabilization of the conjugate base,
- electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituents,
- position of substituents on phenol,
- hybridization and inductive effects,
- solvation and aromatic stabilization.
Since none of the compounds are shown, there is no valid chemical basis to compare them.
Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is B, but because the options are absent, I cannot verify whether this is correct.
Please provide the missing option structures/formulas so I can solve it step-by-step properly.
