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.
