Solution

The correct option is D $N O_{2}^{+}$
In the nitration of benzene with a mixture of concentrated $H N O_{3}$ and concentrated $H_{2} S O_{4}$ the active species involved is the nitronium ion $N O_{2}^{+}$ . It is electrophile and obtained during the reaction of nitric acid and sulphuric acid.
$H O N O_{2} + 2 H_{2} S O_{4} ⇌ N O_{2}^{+} + H_{3} O^{+} + 2 H S O_{4}^{-}$
