Solution

The correct option is B $C l O^{-}$

The strongest acid among $H C l O_{4}, H C l O_{3}, H C l O_{2}$ , and $H C l O$ is $H C l O_{4}$ (due to greater no. of attached $O -$ atoms) and weakest is $H C l O$ . But the corresponding conjugate base of $H C l O$ i.e. $C l O^{-}$ is the strongest bronsted base.
