Which of the following statements is/are correct about the above reactions?

APath I is feasible.
Correct Answer
BPath II is feasible.
C$$PhCl$$ cannot be trinitated because $$Cl$$ and two $$NO_2$$ atoms deactivate the ring towards further $$SE$$ reaction.
D2,4-Dinitrophenol can be nitrated because the two deactivating $$NO_{2}$$ groups prevent ring oxidation.

Solution

Only path 1 is feasible.
Path 2 is not feasible as the $$Cl$$ and two $$NO_2$$ present on the ring are EWG in nature and they deactivate the ring towars any SE reaction.
The oxidation of the ring in presence of $$HNO_3$$ and $$H_2SO_4$$ does not happen because two $$NO_2$$ haing strong EWG property deactivates the ring towards any oxidation and hence nitration occurs.
Hence the correct options are (A), (C) and (D).
