Solution

The correct option is B Water < Carbonic acid < Hydrochloric acid
The strength of an acid depends on its ability to lose a proton.The strong acid dissociates completely to form hydrogen ions.In water one mole of a strong acid $H A$ dissolves yielding one mole of hydrogen ions and one mole of negative ions i.e A. Carbonic acid partially dissociate while $H C l$ strong acid dissociate completely.
