. The carbon atoms in benzene are

Best Answer

Explanation:

In Benzene, each carbon atom is attached to 2 carbons and 1 H.

The nature of bonds shared by each carbon atom are 

2 (C-C) σ boad + 1 (C-H) σ boad + (C-C) σ boad

Thus, each carbon uses its sp² hybridized orbitals to form 3 σ boad and the π boad is formed by the sideways overlap of pure p orbitals.

Final Answer: 

The correct option is A: sp² hybridized.
