Solution

The correct option is D OHC6H5>H3CC6H5>ClC6H5>O2NC6H5
CH3,OH,Cl are ortho-para directing groups and shows +M effect. But NO2 is meta directing group and deactivates the ring and makes the ring difficult for electrophilic substitution reaction.
OH is strong ring activating group followed by CH3 and Cl.
The relative rates of mononitration is OHC6H5>H3CC6H5>ClC6H5>O2NC6H5
