Solution

The correct option is C
$- O H$ group is ring activating (ortho and para directing) group whereas $- C O -$ is ring deactivating (meta directing) group for electrophilic aromatic substitution.
$B r_{2}$ and $C C l_{4}$ gives monobromo derivative since para position is blocked so it will give the ortho product to $O H$ group.
