Solution

The correct option is D Thiophene
Toluene, phenanthrene, and naphthalene are aromatic compounds because they contain atleast one benzene ring.


Thiophene is an aromatic compound and also does not contain benzene ring so it is a non-benzenoid aromatic compound.
Thiophene is a aromatic because it has six π electrons in a planar, cyclic, conjugated system.
