C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
Both `-CF_3 and -CN` are meta direction groups. `-CH_2Cl` is deactivating but ortho/para directing due to hyperconjugation bye benzylic hydrogens. In (d) electrophilic attack occur at ortho/para positions of the ring directly bonded to oxygen atom.
