**Question:**Which of the following is a major product of the reaction sequence below?**Reaction Sequence:**Starting compound: Bromobenzene (C₆H₅Br)1. \( \text{HNO}_3/\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \)2. \( \text{Na}^+ \text{CH}_3\text{O}^- \) in methanol (\(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\))**Options:**- Compound A: A benzene ring with a methoxy group (\(\text{OCH}_3\)) and a nitro group (\(\text{NO}_2\)) in the ortho position.- Compound B: A benzene ring with a methoxy group (\(\text{OCH}_3\)) in the para position to a bromine atom.- Compound C: A benzene ring with a bromine atom in the meta position to a methoxy group (\(\text{OCH}_3\)) and a nitro group (\(\text{NO}_2\)).- Compound D: A benzene ring with a bromine atom in the ortho position to both a methoxy group (\(\text{OCH}_3\)) and a nitro group (\(\text{NO}_2\)).**Answer Choices:**- \( \bigcirc \) Compound C- \( \bigcirc \) Compound B- \( \bigcirc \) Compound D- \( \bigcirc \) Compound A**Explanation of the Reaction:**This is a stepwise reaction involving nitration and nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Bromobenzene undergoes nitration with nitric acid (\(\text{HNO}_3\)) and sulfuric acid (\(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)), introducing a nitro group. Then, the bromine atom is substituted by a methoxy group when treated with sodium methoxide (\(\text{Na}^+ \text{CH}_3\text{O}^-\)) in methanol. Select the major product based on the position of substituents resulting from the reactions.
