Solution
The correct option is C g > a > b = c = d > e > f Rate determining step of nitration does not involve (C - H) bond cleavage. ∴C6H6=C6D6=C6T6
Nitration is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The +I effect increases the rate of nitration whereas the -I effect decreases the rate of nitration.
