(b)

Nucleophile Electrophile

Step by step solution

01

Nucleophile 

A nucleophile is a substance that seeks a nucleus or positive charge, as benzene is negatively charged and electron-rich. Therefore, it is a nucleophile.

02

Electrophile

The nitro group is positively charged and electron-deficient. It seeks electrons. Therefore, it acts as an electrophile as shown:
