Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(B >A> C > D\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(- Cl\) and \(-CH_3\) groups are \(o\) and \(p\) directing. They are electron releasing due to \(+ E\) and \(+ M\) effects. Further since such groups increase electron density in the nucleus, they facilitate further electrophilic substitution and hence known as activating…
