Identify the correct order of reactivity in electrophilic substitution reaction of the following compounds. (1) Benzene (2) Toluene (3) Chlorobenzene, (4) Nitrobenzene.A. `AgtBgtCgtD`B. `DgtCgtBgtA`C. `BgtAgtCgtD`D. `BgtCgtAgtD`

Answer» Correct Answer - c
More stronger the activating group, more will be electrophilic substitution reaction.
`-NO_(2)` groups is electron attraction group, so it deactivates the benzene ring largely `-Cl` atom also deactivates the benzene ring but this deactivation is lower to `-NO_(2)` group, while `-CH_(3)` GROUP ACTIVATES.
