Toluene, when treated with `Br_(2)Fe`, gives o and p-bromotoluene, because the `CH_(3)` group-

A

is para-directing

B

is meta-directing

C

avtivates the ring by hyperconjugation

D

deativates the ring

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(a,c)`

The `(-CH_(3))` group is able to activate the benzene ring by hyperconjugation. So, `(-CH_(3))` group shows `o//p-` directing influenece on the benzene ring.
