Among the following, which is/are correct?

Options

A. Both cyclopentadiencyl anion and benzene are aromatic and have the same stabilty.
B. Benzene is aromatic and more stable than cyclopentadienyl anion and it is non-aromaitic
C. Both cyclopentadienyl anion and benzene are aromatic but benzene is more stable than cyclopentadienyl anion.
D. Cyclopentadienyl anion is more stable than benzene though both are aromatic

Answer

`c`

Explanation

is stable (aromic) but only in comparison with the rest fo the family of anions. But this is not as stable as benzene (as it is neutral inh which all of carbon's valencies are staisfiied).
Rule: Uncharged state is more stable than charged state.
