Answer:

The stronger conjugate base will be the weaker acid; i.e., the acid with the smaller Ka-value.

Explanation:

Given conjugate base CN⁻ => weak acid => HCN =>  Ka =4.9 x 10⁻¹⁰

Given conjugate base OCN⁻ => weak acid=> HOCN => Ka = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴

Ka(HCN) << Ka(HOCN) => CN⁻ is a much stronger conjugate base than OCN⁻
