View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
H−C∣∣O−OH  and  CH3−C∣∣O−OH\mathrm{H} - \mathop {\mathop \mathrm{C}\limits_{||} }\limits_{{\kern 1pt} \mathrm{O}} - \mathrm{OH}{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} and{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} - \mathop {\mathop \mathrm{C}\limits_{||} }\limits_{{\kern 1pt} \mathrm{O}} - \mathrm{OH}
The correct answer is C because carboxylic acids (HCOOH and CH3COOH) form stronger hydrogen bonds due to the higher electronegativity of oxygen and the presence of both a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor.
