Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The bond formed between C of benzene ring and halogen is more stable because of resonance it has partial double bond character. So, rate of reaction towards nucleophilic substitution is slow. This substitution is facilitated by the presence Of electron withdrawing group at ortho and para position because electron density is high at these positions.
Compound () and (i) both has one electron withdrawing group but in compound electron withdrawing (`-NO_(2)`,) group is present at ortho position, so rate of reaction in compound (i) is more than that of (iii) while () has no electron withdrawing group.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
