The displacement of $Cl$ from chlorobenzene to obtain phenol requires strong reaction conditions. However,the chlorine in $2, 4-$ dinitrochlorobenzene is easily displaced because ................

  • A
    $NO_2$ makes the ring electron-rich at $o-$ and $p-$ positions
  • B
    $NO_2$ withdraws electrons from the $m-$ position
  • C
    $NO_2$ donates electrons at the $m-$ position
  • D
    $NO_2$ withdraws electrons from $o-$ and $p-$ positions
