Solution
The correct option is DX=Br2(aq.);Y=NaNO2+HCl(0−5OC);Z=H3PO2+H2O Reaction of aniline with bromine water at room temperature produces a white precipitate of 2,4,6 – tribromoaniline, this on reaction with nitrous acid produces diazonium salt. In aniline, the maximum electron density is found at ortho- and para-positions of the –NH2 group. The −NH2 group is ortho and para directing and is a powerful activating group.
