Dear student, Correct answer is (a) CH4 < NH3 < H2O < HF Acidic strength increases as the electronegativity of central atom increases Electronegativity is in the order C < N < O < F Or we can understand it in different way- Acids are the one which losses H+ ions and will form its conjugate base More stable a conjugate base of an acid more strong the acid is i e it easily losses its H+ ion to form stable conjugate base HF conjugate base (C B ) is F- , H2O C B is OH- , NH3 C B is NH2- , CH4 C B is CH3- Stability order of these C B are â€‹F- > OH- > â€‹NH2- > â€‹CH3- Regards
