(a)
Interpretation:
The strongest acid among acids
Concept introduction:
According to Bronsted acid-base theory, an acid is a compound which donates or gives a proton and a base is a compound which accepts a proton. According to this theory, a strong acid is the one which is almost completely dissociated in the solution. Weak acids are dissociated in a lesser amount.
