Consider the two structures:
 
Read the following statements:
(A) Q has more \(\boldsymbol{\delta}^-\) on chlorine than P.
(B) Q has more dipole moment than P.
(C) In Q, C-CI bond has double bond character.
(D) In Q, CI is attached to \(sp^2\) hybridised carbon but in P, CI is attached to \(sp^3\).
(E) In Q, C-CI bond length is more due to repulsion between lone pair on chlorine and \(\pi ~e^-\) in aromatic ring.
The correct options is:

1. A, B, D, E
2. C, D
3. B, C, D
4. B, C, D, E
