    C)         \[H(ClO)O\]                      

    D)         \[H(ClO)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that acidic strength \[\propto \] Oxidation number \[\therefore \] Correct order is \[\overset{+\,\,1}{\mathop{HClO}}\,<\overset{+\,\,3}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{2}}}}\,<\overset{+\,\,5}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,<\overset{+\,7}{\mathop{HCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,\]
