Solution

The correct option is B 6
What do we mean by $π$ electrons?

$\to π$ electrons are the electrons which are present in the $π$ bond(s) of a double bond or a triple bond, or in a conjugated p orbital.

Now, benzene has three double bonds.

Therefore, $3 \times 2 = 6$ electrons

Therefore, $6 π$ electrons
