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.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
