- D
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
�NH 2 group is electron donating hence increases electron density on ring. Benzene is also electron rich due to delocalisation of electrons. �NO 2 group is electron withdrawing hence, decreases electron density on ring. Thus, correct order for electrophilic substitution is I > II > III.
