Indicate which nitrogen compound amongst the following would undergo Hofmann's reaction (i.e. reaction with $B{r_2}$ and strong $KOH$) to furnish the primary amine ($R - N{H_2}$)
Assertion : Nitration of aniline can be conveniently done by protecting the amino group by acetylation.
Reason : Acetylation increases the electrondensity in the benzene ring
