Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Question:

Assertion (A): In monohaloarenes, further electrophilic substitution occurs at ortho and para positions.
Reason (R): Halogen atom is a ring deactivator.

Answer:

(e) Halogens are ortho-para directing due to (+M) or (+R) effect. Moreover, they are deactivating due to high electronegativity.
