The greater acidity of carboxylic acids compared to alcohols arises
primarily from :
(a) the electron-donating effect of the hydroxyl group
(b) the electron-withdrawing effect of the carboxyl oxygen
(c) the acidity of α-hydrogens of carboxylic acids
(d) the resonance stability associated with the carboxylate ion
