Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: Benzene presents a very stable CONFIGURATION toward both thermal dissociation and oxidation. The primary effect of EXPOSURE of benzene to elevated temperatures is the dissociation of a hydrogen atom ACCOMPANIED by the JOINING of the residues to form diphenyl, a more stable substance which may be recovered in good yield.
