?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
: Chlorobenzene does not react with aqueous 
at room temperature but presence of electron withdrawing groups like 
, at ortho or para position enhance the reactivity of aryl halides towards nucleophilic substitution. Further, greater the number of such groups at 
- and 
-position w.r.t. the halogen, more reactive is the haloarene. Hence, 1 -chloro- 
trinitrobenzene will be hydrolysed the most on warming with water/aqueous 
.
