Select the correct order of reactivity: (a) $\mathrm{HI}>\mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HF} \quad (b) $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}>\mathrm{HBrO}_{4}>\mathrm{HIO}_{4}$ (c) $\mathrm{HClO}<\mathrm{HBrO}<\mathrm{HIO}$ (d) $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}>\mathrm{HClO}_{3}>\mathrm{HClO}_{2}>\mathrm{HClO}$
Acid strength is in the order: (1) $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}>\mathrm{HIO}_{4}>\mathrm{HBrO}_{4}$ (2) $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}>\mathrm{HBrO}_{4}>\mathrm{HIO}_{4}$ (3) $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}<\mathrm{HBrO}_{4}>\mathrm{HIO}_{4}$ (4) None
