Correct answer: C. (B) and (D) are correct statements.

Nitration of aniline gives otho, para and meta nitro anilines but para and also meta are formed in significant amounts,

meta isomer is formed due to the formation of anilinium ion,

With respect to the following reaction, consider the given statements: (A) o -Nitroaniline and p -nitroaniline are the

${H}_{2}{SO}_{4}$ is strong acid, hence

With respect to the following reaction, consider the given statements: (A) o -Nitroaniline and p -nitroaniline are the

With respect to the following reaction, consider the given...
