Which of the following molecule/species is most stable?
Solution
Four Criteria for Aromaticity
- The molecule is cyclic (a ring of atoms)
- The molecule is planar (all atoms in the molecule lie in the same plane)
- The molecule is fully conjugated (p orbitals at every atom in the ring)
- The molecule has electrons ( or any positive integer)

Others do not follow these rules, hence the answer is option A.
