Solution

The correct option is D $Z = - N H C O C H_{3}, - C H_{3}, - B r$
Groups which direct the incoming group to ortho and para positions are called as ortho and para directing groups.
$- N H C O C H_{3}, - C H_{3}, - B r$ are ortho and para directing groups.
The groups which direct the incoming group to meta position are called Meta directing groups.
$- N O_{2}, - C N, - C O O H$ are meta directing.
Hence the correct option is d.
