Answer 2

Answer:

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We discovered that electron-poor aromatic rings with a leaving group can be substituted by electron-rich nucleophiles. We saw how the mechanism works by first adding a nucleophile to the aromatic ring (via an electron-rich intermediate), then losing a leaving group. This distinguishes it from electrophilic aromatic substitution, which produces a mixture of ortho-, para–, and meta- products.
