Solution
The correct option is AC6H6=C6D6=C6T6 Nitration of benzene by mixed acid the rate of reaction in this case will be C6H6=C6D6=C6T6 in nitration of benzene the source of nitronium ion is rhe protonation of nitric acid by sulphonic acid which causes the loss of water molecule & formation of nitronium ion. nitration of benzene is an electrophilic substitution reaction and the rate depends upon the electron density in the aromatic ring . Since the electrons is same in all the isotopes of hydrogen so rate of their nitration is same.
