Solution

Those compounds which are having cyclic conjugation, planar and contain 4n+2π electrons are aromatic compounds. The compounds which are having cyclic conjugation, planar and contain 4 electrons are antiaromatic compounds. 

, , are aromatic compounds. Their π orbital system has p electrons that are delocalized all throughout the ring. Also, they have 4n+2 delocalized p electrons.
