Correct answer: D
-
Idea used: acidity of a proton depends on the stability of the conjugate base formed after removing that proton.
-
For the marked protons , we compare how well the negative charge is stabilized after deprotonation.
-
Most acidic proton:
is the proton whose removal gives an enolate/conjugate base stabilized most strongly by resonance with the carbonyl group and by the strongest electron-withdrawing environment. Hence it is the most acidic. -
Next:
Removal of also gives a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, but the stabilization is less than for . Therefore, -
Compare and
Between these two, the conjugate base from is more stabilized than that from (due to better inductive/resonance support), so -
Combining all comparisons,
-
Option matching: this corresponds to Option D.
