Solution

The correct option is C
Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction neither alkylation nor acylation. $- N H_{2}$ group gets coordinated with the Lewis acid and salt is formed between Lewis acid and aniline.

The reaction is as follows:

+R effect of $- N H_{2}$ diminished due to salt formation. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
