Which statement accurately describes the bonding and structure of benzene (C₆H₆)?
A
A) It consists of a non-planar ring with alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds, and all electrons are localised.
B
B) All carbon atoms are sp³ hybridised, forming a puckered hexagonal ring with localised π-electrons.
C
C) Each carbon atom is sp² hybridised, contributing to a planar hexagonal ring with a delocalised π-electron system above and below the plane.
