Solution

The correct option is B HCl is a weaker Bronsted-Lowry acid than $H_{2} O$
HCl is a stronger bronsted-Lowry acid than $H_{2} O$ .
In any acid-base reaction, stronger acid and stronger base reacts to form weaker conjugate base and weaker conjugate acid.
$H C l (g) + H_{2} O (l) \to H_{3} O^{+} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q)$
In the above reaction, stronger acid HCl reacts to form weaker conjugate base $C l^{-}$ ion.
