Raschig's reaction

In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the nitro group is meta directing because it
decreases electron density at ortho and para positions
decreases electron density at meta position
increases electron density at meta position
increases electron density at ortho and para positions
A.
decreases electron density at ortho and para positions
When nitro group is present in the benzene nucleus, it withdraws electrons from o and p-positions. Thus, the electron density at the o and p-positions decreases. m-positions become positions of comparatively higher electron density and therefore, electrophilic attack occurs at m-positions.
