Most common reactions of benzene and its derivatives are
electrophilic addition reactions
electrophilic substitution reactions
nucleophilic addition reactions
nucleophilic substitution reactions
As we have learnt,
Benzene and its derivatives undergo electrophilic substitution reaction commonly. This is because the aromaticity of the benzene ring is retained after the reaction.
If Benzene were to go electrophilic addition then in that case the aromaticity would be lost.
Nucleophilic addition as well substitution on the Benzene ring is quite difficult because of the negatively charged electron cloud which is in delocalisation over the whole ring
Therefore, option (2) is correct.
