Why is 2,4,5-trifluorophenol much more acidic than phenol?

A. The fluorines destabilize the benzene ring and thus give the structure more acidic characteristics. B. False! 2,4,5-trifluorophenol is actually not more acidic than phenol. C. The fluorines have high electronegativities and help to stabilize the negative charges, which makes it even easier for the hydrogen to be lost. D. The fluorines adjacent to the OH group are large and shield the hydroxyl group from making the solution basic.
