(b)
Interpretation: As a hybrid of five contributing structures the given molecule has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Kekule structures:
The double bonds of an aromatic ring shift back and forth very rapidly. The resulted forms or structures cannot be separated and stay in equilibrium. Those structures are known as Kekule structures.
