Nitrobenzene reacts with `Br_(2)` in the presence of `FeBr_(3)` to give `m-`bromonitrobenzene as the major product. Which of the following provides the reasons for the formation of `m-`bromonitrobenzene as the major product :

Options

A. The electron density on meta carbon is more than on ortho and para position
B. The intermediate cabonium ion formed after initial attack of `Br^(+)` attack the meta position is least destabilzed.
C. Loss of aromaticity when `Br^(+)` attacks at the ortho and para positions and not at meta position
D. Easler loss of `H^(+)` to regain aromaticity form the meta position than from ortho and para positon.

Answer

A, B
