  4. D \(B>A>C>D\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(-\mathrm{CH}_3\) shows \(+\mathrm{M}\) and \(+\mathrm{I}\). \(-\mathrm{Cl}\) shows \(+\mathrm{M}\) and \(-\mathrm{I}\) but inductive effect dominates. \(-\mathrm{NO}_2\) shows \(-\mathrm{M}\) and \(-\mathrm{I}\). Electrophilic substitution…
