A) \[-M\] effect
B) \[-I\]effect
C) \[+M\]effect

Solution :
\[-Cl\]is an electron withdrawing (i.e.,\[-I\] showing) group. It withdraws electrons when attached to the carboxylic acid and decreases the electron density on the oxygen atom. This will facilitate the release of by making\[O-H\]bond more polar and thus\[-Cl\]increases the acidity of acetic acid when attached at a position because of\[-I\]effect.
