-I effect increases acidity. +I effect decreases acidity. -CF3 exerting more -I effect than MeO - Me2CH- exerting more +I effect than —CH3

Q. The correct order of increasing acid strength of the compounds :
(A) $C H_{2} C O_{2} H$
(B) $M e OC H_{2} C O_{2} H$
(C) $C F_{3} C O_{2} H$
(D)

$B < D < A < C$

$B < A < C < B$

$B < A < B < C$

$A < D < C < B$

-I effect increases acidity. +I effect decreases acidity. - $C F_{3}$ exerting more -I effect than MeO - $M e_{2}$ CH- exerting more +I effect than — $C H_{3}$
