    B) \[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CH-COOH\]

    C) HCOOH                       

    D) \[{{\operatorname{CH}}_{3}}COOH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[p{{K}_{a}}=-\log \,{{K}_{a}}\]; HCOOH is the strongest acid and hence it has the highest \[{{K}_{a}}\] or lowest \[p{{K}_{a}}\] value.
