Solution

The correct option is A 12
For any system to be aromatic, it must be planar, cyclic, contain conjugated πelectrons and it must follow Huckel's rule. According to Huckel's rule, if a cyclic, planar, conjugated molecule has (4n+2)π electrons, it is aromatic.
where n can only be positive integer i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3... , it cannot be fractional or negative.
