View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
NO2CH2COOH>NCCH2COOH>FCH2COOH>ClCH2COOHN{O_2}C{H_2}COOH > NCC{H_2}COOH > FC{H_2}COOH > ClC{H_2}COOH
Option C (NO2CH2COOH>NCCH2COOH>FCH2COOH>ClCH2COOHN{O_2}C{H_2}COOH > NCC{H_2}COOH > FC{H_2}COOH > ClC{H_2}COOH) is correct because the electron-withdrawing effect (-I effect) of the substituents decreases in the order NO2>CN>F>ClNO_2 > CN > F > Cl.
