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.
