Answer: A, B
Two Cl atoms give a larger -I effect than one, so the first is correct. In CHX3CHClCOOH Cl is on the alpha carbon, and in ClCHX2CHX2COOH on the beta carbon, so the second is wrong. Acetic acid has a +I methyl group and is weaker than formic acid. The −CN group is -I, so the last is correct.
