Answer:
A and B
Explanation:
The electrophilic substitution of arenes yields a cation intermediate. The positive charge of the cation is delocalized over the entire ring.
The -CN group directs incoming electrophiles to the ortho/para position. The resonance structures for the chlorination of benzonitrile are shown in the question.
Recall that -CN is an electron withdrawing group. The resonance forms that destablize the carbocation intermediate are those in which the -CN group is directly attached to the carbon atom bearing the positive charge as in structures A and B.
