Solution

The correct option is A $C l O^{-}$
The conjugate base is strong if the acid is weak and the conjugate base is weak if the acid is strong.

Hence, the strength of their corresponding acid are in the following order

$H C l O_{4}$ > $H C l O_{3}$ > $H C l O_{2}$ > $H C l O$

Thus the strength of the base will be of reverse order.

Hence, $C l O^{-}$ is the strongest bronsted base.
