Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
According to Huckel's Rule for Aromaticity there should be (4n + 2) $π$ electrons.
$6 π$ electrons
$∴ (4 n + 2) π$ electrons
as if n = 1
$∴ 4 (1) + 2 = 6 π$ electrons
$∴$ Benzene is Aromatic
