Solution

The correct option is D Br2/FeBr3, SnCl2/HCl, NaNO2/HBF40C, heat
Nitrobenzene is brominated to form 1-bromo-3-nitrobenzene. Nitro group is then reduced to amino group to obtain 3-bromoaniline.
The amino group is then diazotized and then replaced by F to obtain 1-bromo-3-fluorobenzene.
Thus the reagents used are as given in option B.
