Phenol is an ortho-para director because the hydroxyl group :
(a) donates electrons that increase electron density at ortho and para positions
favoring nucleophilic attack.
(b) donates electrons that increase electron density at ortho and para positions
favoring electrophilic attack.
(c) donates electrons to the ortho and para positions and attracts electrons away
from meta positions favoring nucleophilic attack of the ring.
(d) donates electrons to the ortho and para positions and attracts electrons away
from meta positions favoring electrophilic attack on the ring.
