The option C has the least energy.

Explanation:

  • The stability of a intermediate is inversely proportional to the energy of the intermediate.
  • The intermediate here are that of electrophilic substitution.
  • Nitro group is a ring deactivating group that pulls electron cloud out of benzene ring.
  • So the ring is most unlikely to get electrophilic substitution.
  • So intermediate of option C will be most stable.
