Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity
Below are the chemical structures of four different substituted aniline derivatives. Each compound consists of a benzene ring (a hexagon with alternating double bonds) with an amine group (-NH3+) attached, and a different substituent group on the ring:

1. **Compound I**:
   - The benzene ring has a nitro group (-NO2) attached to it.
   - The amine group is protonated to form an ammonium ion (-NH3+).

2. **Compound II**:
   - The benzene ring does not have any additional substituents aside from the protonated amine group (-NH3+).

3. **Compound III**:
   - The benzene ring has a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to it.
   - The amine group is protonated to form an ammonium ion (-NH3+).

4. **Compound IV**:
   - The benzene ring has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to it.
   - The amine group is protonated to form an ammonium ion (-NH3+).

These structures demonstrate how different substituents on the benzene ring can potentially influence the properties and reactivity of aniline derivatives.
