Solution

The correct options are
B CH3 group increases the electron density at ortho and para positions due to Hyperconjugation (H) effect.
C NH2 group increases the electron density at ortho and para positions and is called an activating group.
NH2 group shows +M effect. It is called an activating group because it increases the electron density at ortho and para position as shown :


Both M effect and H effect will operate only at ortho/para positions and not at meta positions.
Hyperconjugation in C6H5CH3:


Note: The effect due to hypergonjugation is generally less dominating than mesomeric effect, but more dominating than inductive effect.
