The correct order is (a) D < A < B < C as:
1.Trifluoroacetic acid has greater election withdrawing capability as all the above mentioned.
2. Methoxy group has greater electron withdrawing capability than methyl group.
3. Due to two methyl group it would offer more +I effect as compared to one methyl group

D < A < B < C is the correct option.
Explanation:
- Carboxylic acids are the acids that donate the Proton to form a resonance stabilised base with carboxylate ion.
- This occurs because of the greater electronegativity of oxygen that takes in electron from hydrogen, thereby leaving the Proton.
- Now of other substitutes are used with the carbon that can draw more electron, the acidity of the acid will increase.
- Trifluroacetic acid has highest acidity among these because of the severe negative inductive effect of the fluorine.
- Then comes methoxy group.
- Then the single methyl group.
- At the end comes double methyl groups.
