Solution

The correct option is C $(C H_{3})_{2} C H C O O H < C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H < C l C H_{2} C H_{2} C O O H < C H_{3} C O O H < C l C H_{2} C O O H$
Electron donating group decreases the strength of the acid
Electron withdrawing group increases the strength of the acid
Since $- C H_{3}$ is an electron-donating group, it decreases the acidity
$∴ (C H_{3})_{2} C H C O O H < C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H < C H_{3} C O O H$

$- C l$ is an electron withdrawing group, it increases the acidity
$∴ C l C H_{2} C H_{2} C O O H < C l C H_{2} C O O H$

The increasing order of acid strength is
$∴ (C H_{3})_{2} C H C O O H < C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H < C l C H_{2} C H_{2} C O O H < C H_{3} C O O H < C l C H_{2} C O O H$
