Solution
The correct option is DCH3OH Acidic strength∝stability of conjugate base ∝E.N. of atom containing hydrogen
the correct order of stability of conjugate base is CH3O−>CH≡C−>NH−2>CH2=CH−
sp hybrid carbon is more electronegative than nitrogen.
Hence, correct stability order is CH3OH>CH≡CH>NH3>CH2=CH2
