Solution

The correct option is D Z=NHCOCH3,CH3,Br
Groups which direct the incoming group to ortho and para positions are called as ortho and para directing groups.
NHCOCH3,CH3,Br are ortho and para directing groups.
The groups which direct the incoming group to meta position are called Meta directing groups.
NO2,CN,COOH are meta directing.
Hence the correct option is d.
