Answer:

B

Explanation:

The species on the right are the more stable acids and bases. A weak acid always has a strong conjugate base as in HCOO- and HCOOH. The acid is a weak acid because it has a strong conjugate base. Similarly, a strong acid has a weak conjugate base as in ClO2- and HClO2. ClO2- is a weak base hence it quickly abstracts a proton to form the acid.
