- B1^0 and aliphatic
- C2^0 and aromatic
- D1^0 and aromatic
Correct answer
D. 1^0 and aromatic
Step-by-step solution
Aniline has the chemical formula C₆H₅NH₂ . The nitrogen atom of the amino group ( -NH₂ ) is directly attached to only one carbon atom of the benzene ring, making it a primary ( 1^0 ) amine. Since the amino group is attached to an aromatic benzene ring, it is an aromatic compound. Therefore, aniline is a 1^0 and aromatic compound. Answer: 1^0 and aromatic
