Four structures are given in options (a) to (d) . Examine them and select the aromatic structures .A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
Cyclopropenyl cation (a) has completely delocalized `2pi`-electrons. Therefore , in accordance with Huckel rule, it is aromatic.
Cyclooctatetraene is not planar and also it has `8pi`-electrons. Therefore, in accordance with Huckel rule , it is not aromatic.
(c )Diphenyl has two benzene rings each one of which is planar and has 6 `pi`-electrons . Therefore, like benzene, it is also aromatic.
