Which of the following statements is FALSE? OA Bromobenzene is less reactive than benzene in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction because bromine has a strong electron withdrawing inductive effect. OR In phenol, the OH group strongly donates electron density to the ring via resonance, but it withdraws electron density via the inductive effect. oc The nitro group in 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene is activating to the ring with regard to nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Op In benzoic acid, the -COOH group is a meta director and it activates the ring (makes it more reactive than benzene) for electrophilic aromatic substitution.
