D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In benzene, we have `6C-H` bonds `3C-C` bonds and `3C=C` bonds every single bond is a sigma bond and every double bound consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond. Therefore, total number of `sigma` bonds is 12 and total number of `pi` bonds is 3. the ratio is `(12)/(3)=4`.
