Hey everyone, I'm a little confused about this question involving acid ranking I found online. I understand that C is the least acidic, but unsure about A & B. The solutions say A cannot be stabilized by resonance, which I think resonance is possible.

You are right. It's a mistake on the site, if you look carefully at the solutions you'll see that the structure they draw the resonance structures for is actually the conjugate base of compound A.
