According to the decreasing order of reactivity towards electrophilic substitutions, which of the following is incorrect?

Step-by-step solution

Reactivity towards electrophilic aromatic substitution is determined by the electron density of the benzene ring. Substituents that increase electron density (electron-donating groups, EDG) activate the ring, while substituents that decrease electron density (electron-withdrawing groups, EWG) deactivate the ring. Option (1): The order given is Toluene > Phenol > Benzene > p-Chlorobenzoic acid. This is incorrect because phenol (with a strong +M effect) is significantly more reactive than toluene (with a +I and hyper
