Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Note: In the given reaction a molecule of HCl is lost and C = C double bond is formed. Thus it is dehydrohalogenation reaction. Nitro group is electron withdrawing group. Hence increases the acidity of H atom (attached to C atom bearing nitro group) which is removed easily. Further the newly formed double bond is in conjugation with nitro group.
