Correct answer: D. For uncharged acid For charged acid HA H A     HA H A      a H A K HA           a H A K HA            Polar solvent has greater stability effect on charged species. Hence, in case of uncharged acid like carboxylic acid, alcohol and phenol, it stabilizes H and A   more than it stabilizes HA.
