Solution
The correct option is A I > II > III > IV H3N+CH2COOH is positive charged ion tend to release H+ and accept negative charge, similarly −OOCCH2COOH has negative charge and do not tend to accept the other negative charge. The electron density of −OH in CH3−CH2−COOH increases and H+ becomes more difficult to donate. Electron-releasing groups reduce acidity of a carboxylic acid. NCCH2COOH has CN electron withdrawing group. therefore the order of acidic strength is I>II>III>IV
