Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{3} C O O^{-}$
Conjugate bases are formed by the removal of $H^{+}$ . Acids from which these conjugate bases are formed are :
A. $C l^{-} from H C l$
B. $C H_{3} C O O^{-} from C H_{3} C O O H$
C. $S O_{4}^{2 -} from H S O_{4}^{-}$
D. $N O_{2}^{-} from H N O_{2}$
Out of the four acids, $C H_{3} C O O H$ is the weakest acid of all, so the conjugate base formed by that acid is the strongest of the all.
