The most reactive compound for electrophilic nitration is

1. Benzene
2. Nitrobenzene
3. Benzoic acid
4. Toluene

Correct answer: Toluene

Toluene is the most reactive for electrophilic nitration because the methyl group is an electron-donating group, activating the benzene ring and increasing its reactivity towards electrophiles.
