**Question:**

Which of the following shows correct arrow placement that represents significant resonance for the given species?

**Options:**

1. **Structure A:**
   - A hexagonal ring with alternating double bonds. An arrow from a lone pair on the nitrogen atom to an adjacent bond indicates resonance.

2. **Structure B:**
   - Similar hexagonal ring with alternating double bonds. An arrow pointing from a carbon-carbon bond to an adjacent one, without involving any lone pairs or charges.

3. **Structure C:**
   - Another similar hexagonal ring with a positive charge on one carbon atom. An arrow from a bond adjacent to the positively charged carbon leads to that carbon, indicating resonance.

4. **Structure D:**
   - A hexagonal ring, like the others, but with rearranged bonds and a positive charge on one atom. An arrow indicates movement of a bond towards the positive charge.

5. **Option:**
   - None of the choices given represent significant resonance.
