JEE Main Chemistry question

The correct order of increasing acid strength of the compounds (A), (B), (C), (D) is

(A)B < D < A < C
(B)D < A < C < BCorrect
(C)D < A < B < C
(D)A < D < C < B

Answer: (B)

Solution

This question refers to a set of four drawn structures (commonly, variously halogen-substituted acids) whose acid-strength ranking follows standard inductive-effect reasoning (more/closer electronegative substituents increase acidity). Without the precise structures recoverable from the source image, the printed
