    Ph-OH

    Explanation:

    Nitration of Aromatic compounds is an example for Aromatic Electrophilic substitution and its rate is enhanced by Electron donating group like OMe, OH, alkyl group and halides (least activating group) while reactivity is diminished by electron withdrawing like CN, NO2 and Ketone etc

    Hence phenol is more reactive than benzene towards nitration.
