Solution

The correct option is D $B r_{2} / F e B r_{3}$ , $S n C l_{2} / H C l$ , $N a N O_{2} / H B F_{4} - 0^{\circ} C$ , 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.
