Why is nitrobenzene 100,000 times less reactive than benzene toward nitration?Select answer from the options belowThe nitro group causes a higher energy of activation for nitration by destabilizing the sigma complex.The nitro group causes a higher energy of activation for nitration by significantly stabilizing the sigma complex.The nitro group causes a lower energy of activation for nitration by destabilizing the sigma complex.The nitro group causes a lower energy of activation for nitration by significantly stabilizing the sigma complex.

Why does presence of a nitro group make the benzene ring less reactive in comparison to the unsubstituted benzene ring. Explain.
