Mark the correct order of decreasing acid strength of the following compounds.

\\(i) e > d > b > a > c\\ (ii) b > d > a > c > e\\ (iii) d > e > c > b > a\\ (iv) e > d > c > b > a

The answer is the option (ii). According to the (+R) effect in the cyclic compound, the presence of an electron-withdrawing group at para position to -OH makes the acidity level maximum of the compound whereas having an electron-donating group at the para position to -OH makes the acidity level minimum. So, according to this concept, the correct decreasing order of acidity of the given compounds is Option (ii) b > d > a > c > e
