Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture you have the answer.

Now, let's analize the structure, so you can know why the structure in the picture is the correct structure.

The aniline is the name that receives the benzene with a NH2 group as one of it's substituent. Now, This group is a really strong activating group and in the nomenclature priority, it has more order priority than any halide.

Now, it says that the chloro it's on the para position. The "para" position in a aromatic ring, in this case, the benzene, refers to the position of this substituent to the first substitued position. In this case, the NH2 it's on the position 1 or carbon 1, the para position, means that it's on position 4 of the ring. The ortho position is carbon 2, and meta position is carbon 3 of the benzene. So, according to this, the p-chloroaniline it's on picture attached.
