Solution


Oxidizing power is the tendency of an element to accept an electron. The greater is its ability greater will be its oxidizing power.
The tendency of accepting electron increases from ClO−4 to ClO−

So, the increasing order of the oxidizing power will be HClO4<HClO3<HClO2<HClO.

The given order is correct. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
