Benzene cannot be iodinated with $${I_2}$$ directly. However, in presence of oxidants such as HNO₃, iodination is possible. The electrophiles formed in the case is

A. CH₃C$${\text{O}}_2^ - $$ > CH₃O^- > C₆H₅O^- > N$${\text{O}}_3^ - $$ B. CH₃O^- > N$${\text{O}}_3^ - $$ > C₆H₅O^- > CH₃C$${\text{O}}_2^ - $$ C. CH₃O^- > C₆H₅O^- > CH₃C$${\text{O}}_2^ - $$ > N$${\text{O}}_3^ - $$ D. C₆H₅O^- > CH₃O^- > N$${\text{O}}_3^ - $$ > CH₃C$${\text{O}}_2^ - $$
