The correct order of basic strength is

Options

A. `H_2O lt OH^(-) lt CH_3OH lt CH_3O^(-)`
B. `CH_3OH lt H_2O lt CH_3O^(-) lt OH^(-)`
C. `H_2O lt CH_3OH lt OH^(-) lt CH_3O^(-)`
D. `OH^(-) lt H_2O lt CH_3O^(-) lt CH_3OH`

Answer

C

Explanation

Strong acid have a weak conjugate base and vice-versa.
