1NH2 is highly activating, now if we convert it to NHCOCH3, the activating power is reduced to a gud extent, (to such an extent that the opo products that we get in place of NH2 is stopped at just o or p products) u can anyway not carry out nitration in presence of NH2 gp as its interaction with H+ makes it a strongly deactivating group..hence
B)
