Benzene on nitration gives nitrobenzene in presence of \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) mixture, where :

  1. A \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) acts as an acid and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) acts as a base
  2. B both \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) act as a bases
  3. C \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) acts as a base and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) acts as an acid
  4. D both \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) act as an acids
