Answer:
b) small size of fluorine
Explanation:
Hydrofluoric acid is the least acidic hydrogen halide because of fluorine's electronegativity. Because of the fluoride ion's small size, it cannot disperse the negative charge over a larger space and will have an extremely high affinity for an electrophile (like H+), and because of this it will remain mostly as HF.
