An activating substituents group activate

Correct answer: C. Both Ortho and para position

  • A. Ortho position
  • B. Para position
  • C. Both Ortho and para position
  • D. Mata position

Explanation

Activating groups are electron-donating groups that make the ring more reactive. Both ortho and para positions are activated by activating substituents, making them the most likely positions for electrophiles to attack. Option A and B are incorrect because activating substituents affect multiple positions. Option D is incorrect as there is no 'mata' position in organic chemistry, the correct term is meta which is not activated by activating substituents.
