Solution

The correct option is D $c > d > b > a$
The rate of $E A S$ depends on the ability of electron donation of the group attached to the benzene ring.
The electron donation ability is in order:

$- {C H}_{3} > - H > - C l > - {N O}_{2}$

The correct order is-
c>d>b>a

Hence, the correct option is D.
