Answer #1

Generally Benzene and it's it's derivatives undergo Electrophilic substitution reactions. It needs more electron density on benzene ring. Donating groups increases the electron density hence more reactive.

Withdrawing group decreases the reactivity.

A. O-dibromo benzene> bromobenzene> benzene

B. P-methoxy benzonitrile> p-methylbenzonittrile> benzonitrile

C. O-xylene> fluorobenzene> Benzaldehyde

NO2 is a strong withdrawing group and decresdec the electron density on benzene ring hence further Electrophilic substitution doesn't occurs.
