  • Correct answer
    A
    6 p-orbitals and 6 unpaired electrons
  • B
    7 p-orbitals and 6 unpaired electrons
  • C
    7 p-orbitals and 7 unpaired electrons
  • D
    6 p-orbitals and 7 unpaired electrons

Solution

Figure
Because of the presence of 6 p-orbitals and 6 unpaired electrons, it is aromatic in nature as these unpaired electrons delocalise in p-orbitals.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
