Directing nature of substituted aromatic compound is decided by stability of σ-complex or arenium ion. If σ-complex is stabilise at o-and p-position by attack of electrophile then the group is o-and p-directing but if σ-complex is stabilise at m-position then group will be meta directing

On the basis of above explanation find out correct answers of following questions.
Which of the following is not o-and p-directing ?
Answer
(C)
