### Understanding Organic Compounds

**Question 18 of 31**

#### The Compound Shown Here is What Type of Organic Compound?

##### Diagram:

- The diagram depicts a hexagonal ring structure (benzene ring) with alternating double bonds, which indicates an aromatic compound. There are two CH₃ groups (methyl groups) attached to the benzene ring on positions 1 and 3 of the ring.

##### Options:

A) alkane  
B) alkene  
C) alkyne  
D) aromatic compound  
E) aldehyde

The correct answer is **D) aromatic compound**. 

An aromatic compound is characterized by the presence of a benzene ring, which is a six-carbon ring with alternating double bonds. The benzene ring in the given compound has two methyl groups attached, confirming its status as an aromatic compound.
