Solution

The correct option is B A > D > C > B
The enthalpy of neutralization (ΔHn) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid is neutrilized with one equivalent of a base to form water and a salt. Lower is heat of neutralization, more is heat of dissociation of acid, weaker is acid.
