Amino group is o, p-directing for electrophilic substitution reaction. But, on nitration the major product is m-nitroaniline because

A

aniline gets protonated with strong acids to give anilinium ion which is m-directing

B

nitration requires nitric acid which oxidises `NH_2` to `-NO_2` group.

C

electrophilic `NO_2^+` is a m-directing group

D

benzene ring exerts + I effect and deactivates the ring.
