When phenol is treated with bromine water,the white precipitate formed is

$A$ compound $'X'$ is acidic and it is soluble in $NaOH$ solution,but insoluble in $NaHCO_3$ solution. Compound $'X'$ also gives a violet colour with neutral $FeCl_3$ solution. The compound $'X'$ is:

$Phenol$ $\xrightarrow[Distillation]{Zn} A$ $\xrightarrow[Conc. H_2SO_4]{Conc. HNO_3} B$ $\xrightarrow[NaOH]{Zn} C$
In the above reaction,$A$,$B$,and $C$ are the following compounds:

An organic compound $C_6H_7N$ on reaction with $NaNO_2 / HCl$ at $273-278 \ K$ followed by warming with water gives $B$. $B$ reacts with concentrated $HNO_3$ to give $C$. What is $C$?

Which among the following phenols does $NOT$ correctly match with their $IUPAC$ names?

Given below are two statements.
Statement $I$: Phenols are weakly acidic.
Statement $II$: Therefore they are freely soluble in $NaOH$ solution and are weaker acids than alcohols and water.
Choose the most appropriate option.
