MCQ
Identify the polynuclear aromatic compound which is aromatic


- A$(i)$ and $(ii)$
- B$(ii)$ and $(iii)$
- ✓$(i)$, $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
- D$(i)$ and $(iii)$

Huckel's Rule $\Rightarrow 4 n +2=$ no. of delocalised $\pi$-electrons $( n =0,1,2,3 \ldots)$
$(i) \,4 n +2=10 \Rightarrow n =2$
$(ii) \,4 n +2=14 \Rightarrow n =3$
$(iii)\,4 n +2=14 \Rightarrow n =3$
All compounds follow Huckel's rule, thus all are aromatic compounds.
Hence, the correct answer is option $C$.
