Benzene = hexadeutrobenzene < Toulene
 
Nitration is an electrophilic substitution reaction which involves NO2+ ion.
In case of toulene, there is an electron releasing group, -CH3 and thus it facilitates nitration.
Substitution of H by its isotope D doesn't have any effect on nitration. So benzene and hexadeutrobenzene have same rates of nitration.

Happines is like a butterfly;
the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn you attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulders...
