    A)  Formic acid is the strongest acid

    B)  Acetic acid is the weakest acid

    C)  Carbonic acid is the strongest acid

    D)  Acetic acid is weaker than carbonic acid

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     On decreasing the\[p{{K}_{a}}\]value, acidic strength increases, ie, smaller the value of\[p{{K}_{a}},\]stronger the acid is. Hence, formic acid is the strongest acid.
