Answer:

A

C

Explanation:

For the reaction of m-bromonitrobenzene from benzene first, we need to carry out the nitration of benzene utilizing HNO3, H2SO4.  

Bromination of nitrobenzene with Br2, FeBr3 outfits m-bromonitrobenzene in light of the fact that nitro group is meta coordinating for electrophile. The mechanism activity for the reaction is shown in the image below.
