which is a stronger base in water? Ch3O-, or Ch3COO-?

A) CH3O-, because the negative charge is localized on the oxygen making the species less stable and therefore a better proton acceptor.

B) CH3O-, because the negative charge Is de-localized on the oxygen, making the species more stable and therefore less likely to accept a proton.

C) CH3COO-, because the negative charge is de-localized over the two oxygens, making the species more stable and therefore less likely to accept a proton.

D) Ch3COO-, because the negative charge is loaded on one of the two oxygens, making the species less table and therefore a better proton acceptor.
