When nitrobenzene is treated with `Br_(2)` in presence of `FeBr_(3)`, the major product formed is `m-`bromo`-`nitrobenzene. Statement which is related to obtain the `m-`isomer is

Options

A. the electron density on meta carbon is more than that on ortho and para positions
B. the intermediate carbonium ion formed after initial attack of `Br^(+)` at the meta position is less destabilised
C. los of aromaticity when `Br^(+)` attacks at the ortho and para positions and not at meta position
D. easier loss of `H^(+)` to regain aromaticity from meta position than from ortho and para positions

Answer

(a,b)
