ophilic aromatic substitutions proceed in two stages. 1. Attack of the aromatic ring on the electrophile. 2. Regeneration of the stable aromatic system by loss of a positively charged unit, usually a proton. Br Br₂/FeBr3 one resonance structure for the intermediate formed when the electrophile is attacked by benzene in the reaction above. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.

Which of the following is a correct statement regarding electrophilic aromatic substitution? A. Many suitable electrophiles are unreactive and can be stored for long periods of time prior to use. B. The carbocation intermediate will lose a proton to regain aromaticity, usually from a position other than the site of the electrophilic attack. C. Formation of the carbocation intermediate has a high activation barrier due to loss of aromaticity. D. Reformation of the aromatic ring has a low activation barrier and therefore occurs slowly. E. The carbocation intermediate has several resonance structures and is negatively charged.
