Which mechanism promotes electron delocalization upon benzene ring formation?

A)Hybrid orbital formation
B)Resonance stabilization energy
C)Van der Waals interactions
D)London dispersion forces

💡 Explanation

Formation of benzene involves sp2 hybridization, a hybrid orbital formation; because atomic orbitals mix, this creates delocalized pi orbitals spread above and below the ring, therefore stabilizing structure, rather than remaining localized atomic orbitals.
