Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of an acid is determined by its ability to donate a proton (H+ ion). In option B, the presence of the electronegative Br atom adjacent to the -OH group makes it more acidic by stabilizing the conjugate base through resonance. This resonance effect is not present in the other options, making B the strongest acid.
