The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Carboxylic acid is stronger acid than ammonium ion, hence
-COOH(X) is most acidic. $_{Z(NH_3)}^{ \, \, \, \, \, +}$ is more acidic than $_{Y(NH_3)}^{ \, \, \, \, \, +}$
due to - / effect of -COOH on Z. Hence, overall acid strength
order is
X > Z > Y

Hydrocarbons - Reaction Mechanism

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are entirely made up of only two kinds of atoms – carbon and hydrogen. Typically, hydrocarbons are colourless gases that have very weak odours.

Mechanism of electrophilic substitution reactions:

According to experimental evidences, SE (S = substitution; E = electrophilic) reactions are supposed to proceed via the following three steps:

  1. Generation of the electrophile
  2. Formation of carbocation intermediate
  3. Removal of proton from the carbocation interm
