Under which of the following reaction conditions, aniline gives p-nitro derivative as the major product?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B
Solution:

Protecting —NH₂ as acetanilide (with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride in pyridine) moderates its activation; nitration then gives p-nitroaniline (after hydrolysis) as the major product. Direct nitration gives substantial m-product and oxidation, and in strong acid the anilinium ion is m-directing.
