Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct synthesis of m-nitrobenzoic acid involves the nitration of benzoic acid at the meta position. This can be achieved by using a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid. The correct choice is C, as it shows the correct placement of the nitro group on the benzene ring. A and B do not have the nitro group at the correct position, and D and E are not applicable as there is only one correct choice.
