Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Benzene having any activating group, i.e., OH, R etc. undergoes electrophilic substitution very easily as compared to benzene itself. Thus, toluene (C 6 H 5 CH 3 ) and phenol (C 6 H 5 OH) undergo electrophilic substitution very readily than benzene. Chlorine with +E and +M effect deactivates the ring due to strong �I effect. So, it is difficult to carry out the substitution in chlorobenzene than in benzene, so correct order is (iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)
