Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Nitrobenzene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Benzenamine (aniline) reacts with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine to form acetanilide. This step protects the amino group and prevents polysubstitution and oxidation. Acetanilide undergoes nitration with a mixture of concentrated \(\text{HNO}_3\) and concentrated…
