Detailed Solution

(a) In p-nitrophenol, nitro group shows −M effect, which stabilizes the conjugate anion hence, it will be most acidic. In p-cresol, methyl group shows +H effect which destabilizes the conjugate anion hence, it will be least acidic. Therefore, acidity order will be: p-cresol < phenol < p-nitrophenol
