    Priyanshu kumar Best Answer

    Option A is correct Explanation:- Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. With an increase in the number of O atoms attached to Cl, more electrons are pulled away from O−H bond and more weaker becomes the O−H bond. This increases the acid strength. The decreasing order of acidic strength is HClO4​>HClO3​>HClO2​>HClO.

    Also here you can check oxidation number of central metal atom chlorine....more Oxidation number more is the acidity for metal oxides In higher oxidation states metal oxides are more covalent in nature as the polarizing power of the metal ion proportional to its oxidation states. so their oxides are acidic in nature.
