Solution
The correct option is C Benzene Cyclic Polymerisation:
The process in which the repeating units are joined together end to end in a cyclic chain.This is the best route for
entering aromatic compounds from aliphatic compounds.
Ethyne on passing through a red hot iron tube at 873 K undergoes cyclic polymerisation to produce one molecule of benzene.
Three molecules of ethyne polymerise to give benzene.
