Which of the following compounds are not arranged in order of decreasing reactivity towards electrophilic substitution

A

Flurobenzene `gt` chlorobenzene `gt` bromobenzene

B

Phenol `gt n`-propyl benzene `gt` benzoic acid

C

Chlorotoluene `gt` para-nitrotolunene `gt 2`-chloro-`4` nitrotouene

D

Benzoic acid `gt` phenol `gt n`-propyl benzene
