Solution

The correct option is D $H C l O_{4}$
The acidic nature of oxoacid of the same halogen but different oxidation state increases with the increase in oxidation number of halogen. As the number of oxygen atom increases, the negative charge dispersal becomes more from $C l$ atom because of electronegativity of the oxygen atom that increases its acidic strength. Thus $H C l O_{4}$ is the strongest acid among other oxoacids.
