Solution
The correct option is B Toluene
Toluene gives a sulphonation reaction very quickly because sulphonation is ESR, so the ring must be electron-rich as nitro and chloro groups are electron-withdrawing groups due to which ring gets deactivated while the CH3 group is electron-donating makes ring electron-rich.
