Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1. Assess Aromatic Stability: Select the most stable species, which will be the aromatic one, as aromatic compounds possess enhanced stability owing to delocalized π-electrons.

Step 2. Examine Each Structure: Option (1): This structure adheres to Huckel’s rule (4n + 2) for aromaticity and features a planar conjugated ring, confirming its aromatic nature and stability. Other Options: Fail to meet Huckel’s rule or are non-aromatic.

Step 3. Determination: Option (3) is deemed the most stable due to its aromaticity.
