Solution

The correct option is C B<A<C
The greater I effect is favorable or greater acidic strength. The I effect of aldehyde group is greater than the ester group. Due to this C will be most acidic. In A and B, B will be less acidic as it has I effect sort of localized due to ester group being on a single carbon. In A it is more delocalized is not effective on more by adjacent carbons.
Hence, the required order is- B<A<C.
