Solution

The correct option is A 6
A conjugated system is a system of connected p orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, which in general lowers the overall energy of the molecule and increases stability. It is conventionally represented as having alternating single and multiple bonds.

In Pyridine, all three bonds are used in conjugation so no. of conjugated electrons are 6.

Hence, the correct option is A
