Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

NaOH is base so it will react with acid.

H which is attached with -COOH is more acidic due to the stability of conjugate base (equivalent resonating structure). So, b and c is more basic. And in a and b, b is more acidic because it's conjugate base is stabilised due to -I effect of-NO 2
