Answer:
1 is right answer
tert-Butoxide is the conjugate base of tert-butyl alcohol which is the weakest acid among ethanol, 2-propanol, methanol and tert-butyl alcohol.
Why is tert-butoxide a stronger base than ethoxide? ... In solution the bulky t-Butoxide ion is more difficult to solvate which destabilizes it relative to ethoxide. In the gas phase t-Butoxide is actually less basic than ethoxide due to the inductive effect of having more alkyl substituents.
