Solution
The correct option is C m-chloroacetophenone
Acetophenone react with halogens in the presence of a lewis acid like anhydrous FeCl3,FeBr3 or AlCl3 to yield m-chloroacetophenone.
−COCH3 is the meta directing group because it is electron withdrawing group. It pulls the electron density towards itself and acts as a deactivating group on ring which gives generally meta substituents as a major product. Thus option (c) is correct.
