Q. Which of the following sequences would yield $m$ -nitro chlorobenzene (Z) from benzene?

Benzene $C l_{2} / F e C l_{3} (X) H N O_{3} H_{2} S O_{4} (Z)$

Benzene $H_{2} S O_{4} / H N O_{3} (Z)$

Benzene $H_{2} S O_{4} / H N O_{3} (X) F e C l_{3} / C l_{2} (Z)$

All of these above will produce (Z)

b. $(Z) \Rightarrow C_{6} H_{5} S O_{3} H$
