Electron-donating substituents tend to decrease while electron-withdrawing substituents tend to increase the acidic strength of substituted benzoic acids relative to benzoic adds. However, due to ortho-effect, o-nitro-benzoic add is the stronger add then p-nitrobenzoic add. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/0859a055bc9e535cb290f5bb87455692-.png" />

Q. Arrange the following acids in order of their increasing acidity.

$A < B < C < D$

$B < C < A < D$

$C < B < D < A$

$C < D < B < A$

Electron-donating substituents tend to decrease while electron-withdrawing substituents tend to increase the acidic strength of substituted benzoic acids relative to benzoic adds. However, due to ortho-effect, $o$ -nitro-benzoic add is the stronger add then $p$ -nitrobenzoic add.
