Answer: i think toluene or methyl benzene
Explanation: because of inductive effect ethyl group more +I effect than methyl group but in hyper conjugation methyl group contains 3 alpha Hydrogens, ethyl group only 2 alpha Hydrogens so methyl benzene electron rich so electrophilic substitution takes easily than benzene and in nitro benzene No2 group electron withdrawing group so not support electrophilic substitution
