Solution

The correct option is A $H O C l < H C l O_{2} < H C l O_{3}, < H C l O_{4}$
Among these, $H C l O_{4}$ is strongest because its conjugate base is most stable due to highest number of resonating structures.
As oxygen atom decreases, resonating structures decreases and acid become weak so order is $H O C l < H C l O_{2} < H C l O_{3}, < H C l O_{4}$ .
