Explanation
Electron withdrawing group increases the acidity of benzoic acid, o-isomer will have higher acidity than -p position have more pronounce electron-withdrawing effect than $$-NO_2$$ group at -m position.
Hence the order of acidity is
o−NO2C6H4COOH > p−NO2C6H4COOH >m−NO2C6H4COOH > Ph−COOH
Hence, option D is correct.
