Solution

The correct option is D $H_{2} {S O}_{4} / {H N O}_{3}$
$C_{6} H_{6} + H N O_{3} C o n . H_{2} S O_{4} - ------ \to 57^{0} C C_{6} H_{5} N O_{2} + H_{2} O$

This is nitration of benzene.
the mixture of sulphuric acid and nitric acid is a nitrating mixture. It does nitration of benzene by substituting the hydrogen atom of benzene with nitro group.
