Phenol is most acidic because its conjugate base is stabilised due to resonance, while the rest three compounds are alcohols, hence, their corrosponding conjugate bases do not exhibit resonance.

The major product obtained on interaction of phenol with sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide is
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.

In the following sequence of reactions, \[\xrightarrow{\text{Oleum}}P\xrightarrow[\left( \text{ii} \right){{H}^{+}}]{\left( \text{i} \right)NaOH}Q\]
the compound $$Q$$ formed will be
Due to greater electronegativity of $$s{p^2}$$ - hybridized carbon atoms of the benzene ring, diaryl ethers are not attacked by nucleophiles like $${I^ - }.$$
