Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Bronsted bases are the species which accept proton.
In the given options, oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine therefore, it will attract the electrons of chlorine atom more towards itself. As a result, the positive charge on chlorine atom increases as the number of oxygen atoms increases.
Therefore, the probability to accept a proton will decrease. Thus, the basicity will also decrease with increase in oxygen atoms.
Hence, we can conclude that will be the strongest bronsted base.
