    acetic acid is more acidic then the phenol because in resonating structure the acetic acid forms the equivalent structure. There is rule that the acidic character of equivalent structure is more then that of non equivalent structure.

    option C

    Acetic acid is here most acidic as conjugate base is resonance stabilised

    eduncle-logo-app

    Acetate ion have two equivalent resonating structure...so it is more stable

    eduncle-logo-app

    Then phenoxide ion is also resonance stabilised...5 resonating structure
