7. HA and HB are both weak acids in water, and HA is a stronger acid than HB. Which of the following statements is correct'? A. A is a stronger base than B, which is a stronger base than H20, which is a stronger base than Cl B. Bis a stronger base than A-, which is a stronger base than H20, which is a stronger base than Cl C. B is a stronger base than A-, which is a stronger base than Cl, which is a stronger base than H20 D. Cl is a stronger base than A, which is a stronger base than B, which is a stronger base than H20.
