Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
a. Electron-withdrawing group near the carboxylate ion reduces its stability thereby acidity is reduced.
b. Electron-withdrawing group near the carboxylate ion increase acidity and also contributes to the stability.
c. Electron-donating groups decrease acidity by destabilizing the carboxylate ion.
d. A carboxylate ion is much more stable than the corresponding alkoxide ion because of the existence of resonance structures for the carboxylate ion which disperse its negative charge
