Fluoroacetic acid, \(\text{CH}_2\text{FCOOH}\), is a stronger acid than chloroacetic acid, \(\text{CH}_2\text{ClCOOH}\), because the higher electronegativity of fluorine stabilizes the conjugate base through an inductive effect. Which of the following complete Lewis diagrams for the fluoroacetate ion, \(\text{CH}_2\text{FCO}_2^-\), correctly shows all valence electrons and formal charges?
