                              Q:
                           
                           
                                                      | A) ClCH2COOH | B) BrCH2COOH | 
| C) FCH2COOH | D) ICH2COOH | 
                              Answer:   C) FCH2COOH
                              
                                                            
                              
Explanation:
                               
                           
                           Explanation:

FCH2COOH is the strongest acid out of all.
Since the electron withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) of the halogens decreases in the order of F>Cl> Br> I , therefore the acidic strength of the α- halo acids decreases in the same order.
FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH > ICH2COOH.
