Nitration of aniline also gives $m-$nitro aniline, in strong acidic medium because
A
In electrophilic substitution reaction amino group is meta directive
BInspite of substituents nitro group always goes to $m-$ position
C
In strong acidic medium, nitration of aniline is a nucleophic substitution reaction
D
In strong acidic medium aniline present as anilinium ion

D
In strong acidic medium aniline present as anilinium ion
d (d) The reason for this is that, in acidic condition protonation of $ - N{H_2}$ group gives anilinium ion $( + N{H_3})$, which is of deactivating nature and of $m-$directive nature.
