Question
**Question:**

Which of the following is the *strongest* acid?

I. H₂O  
II. H₂S  
III. H₂Se  
IV. H₂Te  

**Periodic Table Diagram:**

A periodic table is provided, displaying elements arranged by groups and periods. Key groups relevant to the question, like VIA, where Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se), and Tellurium (Te) are located, are highlighted. These elements are crucial for assessing the strength of hydrides.

**Multiple Choice Options:**

Select one:

- A. IV
- B. I
- C. II
- D. III

**Explanation of the Diagram:**

The periodic table highlights Group VIA elements, which influence the acid strength of their hydrides (H₂O, H₂S, H₂Se, H₂Te). The acid strength typically increases down the group when bound to hydrogen.
