  1. Cl- < F- < CH3COO- < CO32- < OH-

  2. Cl- < F- < CO32- < CH3COO- < OH-

  3. CH3COO- < Cl- <f>- < CO32- < OH-</f>

  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because we know that lower will be the acidic strength higher will the basic strength of the conjugate base, since conjugate acids of the following bases follow the order of strength as HCl > HF > CH3COOH > H2CO> H2O.
