Which of the following compounds are not arranged in order of decreasing reactivity towards electrophilic substitution

A

Fluoro benzene gt chloro benzene gt bromo benzene

B

Phenol gt n-propyl benzene gt benzoic acid

C

Chloro toluene gt para-nitro toluene gt 2-chloro-4-nitro toluene

D

Benzoic acid gt phenol gt n-propyl benzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
