Draw other resonance structures related to the following structure and find out whether the functional group present in the molecule is ortho,para directing or meta directing.

(A) The given structure represents a halobenzene $(C_6H_5X)$,where $X$ is a halogen atom $(F, Cl, Br, I)$ having three lone pairs of electrons.
Due to the $+R$ effect (resonance effect) of the halogen atom,the electron density increases at the ortho and para positions of the benzene ring.
The resonance structures are as follows:
$1$. The lone pair on the halogen atom shifts to form a double bond with the benzene ring,and the $\pi$-bond electrons shift to the ortho position.
$2$. The negative charge at the ortho position shifts to the para position.
$3$. The negative charge at the para position shifts to the other ortho position.
$4$. Finally,the electrons shift back to the halogen atom.
Since the electron density is higher at the ortho and para positions,the halogen group is ortho,para directing.
