Solution
The correct option is D
−Cl - atom shows +R - effect that o/p - directive influence but deactivate the benzene ring. While −OH, −CH3 groups also shows o/p - influence but activate the benzene ring. But in these - OH group activates more than −CH3.
Hence, order of electrophilic substitution is
