Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In the nitration of benzene in the presence of conc. 
and 
, nitrobenzene is formed.
If large amount of 
is added to this mixture, more 
ion furnishes and hence the concentration of 
, i.e. electrophile decreases.
As concentration of electrophile decreases, rate of electrophilic aromatic reaction also decreases.
