  1. A
    Naphthalene
  2. B
    Tropone
  3. C
    Cyclohexene
  4. D
    Tetrahydrofuran

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Tropone (2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one) is a classic example of a non-benzenoid aromatic compound. It features a seven-membered ring containing three conjugated double bonds and a ketone carbonyl group. The structure attains stability and aromatic nature through a significant contribution from a dipolar resonance structure with electrons satisfying Hückel's rule.
* Naphthalene is a fused benzenoid hydrocarbon.
* Cyclohexene is a cycloalkene and is non-aromatic.
* Tetrahydrofuran is a saturated heterocyclic compound and is non-aromatic.
