Identify the functional group that has electron donating inductive effect.

Options

A. `-COOH`
B. `-CN`
C. `-CH_(3)`
D. `-NO_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

The function group that has electron donating or positive inductive effect is `-CH_(3)` Since, the positive inductive effect is due to the presence of an electron donating groups within the polar bond. Thus option (c) is correct as rest of the three groups `(-COOH,-CN,-NO_(2))` are electron withdrawing in nature.
