Solution

The correct option is C ${C H}_{2} C l C O O H$
In chloroacetic acid C-Cl bond is highly reactive as chloro group is electron withdrawing in nature and causes partial negative charge on carbon atom so the bond of COO-H gets weak and carboxylate anion loses its proton easily to stabilize the ion.
