Answer:
A. Cl is ortho/para directing. ... Hint: Chlorine has a lone pair so it can donate electrons to the benzene ring. Chlorine has high electronegativity so it can withdraw the electron density from the ring. Chlorine increases electron density at Ortho and Para positions and decreases at Meta position
