Solution

The correct option is D

NaCl


All cations are expected to act as Lewis acid since they are electron deficient in nature.

However, cations such as Na+,K+etc. (Inert gas configuration) have a very little tendency to accept electrons.

Therefore they do not acts as lewis acids in Friedel Craft's reaction.
