Solution

The correct option is C
In the presence of nitrating mixture,
(conc.HNO3+conc.H2SO4), aniline gives a significant amount of (47%) meta product because in presence of H2SO4 its protonation takes place and anilinium ion is formed.

Here, Anilinium ion is strongly deactivating and meta-directing in nature. So, it gives a meta-nitration product.
