Which solution will have the lowest pH?

a. 0.10 M HClO2, pKa = 1.96
b. 0.10 M HCN, pKa = 9.21
c. 0.10 M HF, pKa = 3.19
d. 0.10 M HClO, pKa = 7.538
e. 0.00010 M HCl

Does the lower the pka stronger the acid, means the lower the ph, so the answer is A?

Yes but you must account for HCl separately. Of the acids listed with a pKa value, HClO2 is the strongest. Then HCl has pH of 4 so A is correct.
