The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The pH values are determined by the acidic strength of each compound. p-Nitrophenol, having an electron-withdrawing group, is the most acidic, followed by m-Cresol and m-Nitrophenol. Phenol, with no substituents, is the least acidic among these compounds.
