Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction sequence starts with reaction I, which is a substitution reaction in which an iodine atom is substituted with a hydroxyl group (-OH) on a benzene ring. This results in the formation of phenol. 
The phenol formed in reaction I then undergoes oxidation with nitric acid in reaction II to form 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, also known as picric acid. 
Therefore, the final product of the given reaction sequence is III, which is picric acid.
