Detailed Solution

Given data : It is given to identify among the following compounds, the strongest acid is, which option is correct

Explanation:
In acetylene, benzene, and ethane, the carbon atom is joined to another carbon atom. The carbon atom and oxygen atom are joined in methanol. Greater than that carbon, oxygen has a stronger electronegativity. In comparison to acetylene, benzene, and ethane, methanol is hence more electronegative.

As a result, $C H_{3} O H$ is the most powerful acid.
Hence, the correct option (D). $C H_{3} O H$ .
