it is acidic because nitro group attached to phenol in nitro phenol is electron withdrawing group and hence it increases the polarity of OH bond .................this is the correct ans

phenol has an acidic proton due to stabilization of the phenoxide ion by resonace.the negative charge on the phenoxideion is deloclalized into the benzene. this effect is common to nitrophenol too.
