Answer:

Sulfuric acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulfuric acid is stronger than ethanoic acid because H+ ions or proton totally ionise in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) whereas in ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) H+ ion partially ionises. The resultant anion of sulfuric acid (HSO4-) is more stable than anion of ethanoic acid (CH3COO-).

So, ethanoic acid is a weak electrolyte and is less stronger than sulfuric acid.

Hence, the correct answer is sulfuric acid.
