Solution

Q. The rate determining step in electrophilic aromatic substitution is the

formation of intermediate arenium cation because it occurs faster

formation of intermediate arenium cation because it is usually slow

elimination of $H^{+}$ from arenium cation which occurs faster to restore aromaticity

formation of the electrophile
