    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C)  \[CH\equiv CH\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Proton donors are acids. Among given choices \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]can give proton \[({{H}^{+}})\] most easily. \[\therefore \] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] is most acidic among \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}},C{{H}_{4}}\]\[CH\equiv CH\]and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]
