How Readily an Acid Donates a Hydrogen Ion Is a Function

How readily an acid donates a hydrogen ion is a function of how well the acid is able to accommodate the resulting negative charge it gains after donating. Which should be the stronger acid: water or hypochlorous acid? Why?

A) Water, because O-H would accommodate the resulting negative charge better than O-Cl.
B) Hypochlorous acid, because the resulting negative charge is spread over a greater number of atoms.
C) Neither, since both molecules are "monoprotic" and donate the same H⁺ ion, making their the same.
D) Water, because the hydrogen bonding in water gives it the edge in the ability to accommodate the resulting negative charge.
