Q. Which represents nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction?

A) Reaction of benzene with $Cl_{2}$ in sunlight
B) Benzyl bromide hydrolysis
C) Reaction of $NaOH$ with dinitrofluorobenzene
D) Sulphonation of benzene
Explanation

(c)
Reaction of $NaOH$ with dinitrofluorobenzene represents nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction because $–NO_{2}$ group is deactivating group. They make benzene nucleus electron deficient and facilitate the nucleophile to attack the ring.
