For electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, why is a methoxy group (on the aromatic ring) more activating than a methyl group?Select answer from the options belowIts steric interaction enhances the regioselectivity towards lower energy configurationsIt directs to the ortho-meta configurationsIt creates a fourth resonance structure in the sigma complexIts induction effects amplify the activationSave for LaterSubmit Answer
