Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given :–
Assertion : `p–O_2N–C_6H_5COCH_3` is prepared by Friedel Crafts acylation of nitrobenzene.
Reason : Nitrobenzene easily undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction.
| A. |
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanaton of the assertion. |
| B. |
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanaton of the assertion. |
| C. |
If assertion is true but reason is false. |
| D. |
If both assertion and reason are false |
 |
The nitro group strongly deactivates the benzene rign towards electrophilic substitution. Nitrobenzene does not undergo Friedel-Craft acylation reaction.
