Option “C” is correct that is m-nitrobenzoic acid.
• When benzoic acid reacts with concentrated nitric acid then meta-nitro-benzoic acid is formed.
• When benzoic acid is treated with a mixture of conc. nitric acid then there is the formation of m-nitro-benzoic acid.
• The reaction is done at low temperature.
• Benzoic acid is the carboxylic acid and an aromatic organic compound.
