Reason: An amino group attached to the benzene ring makes it resistant to oxidation whereas nito group makes the benzene ring susceptible to oxidation.

Identification of +m & -m groups : If the first atom of the group has lone pair or negative charge shows +m effect. +m group increases electron density at ortho and para position of benzene ring. If the group has vacant p- orbital on first atom, also a multipal bonded group in which second atom is more electronegative than the first then it shows -m effect. -m group decreases electron density of ortho and para position of benzene ring. Identify which of following group/s show -m effect when attached with benzene ring.
