A) \[24\sigma ,7\pi \]                         

B) \[24\sigma ,6\pi \]

C) \[27\sigma ,7\pi \]                         

D) \[27\sigma ,6\pi \]

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

Nitrobenzene on reduction using zinc in alkaline medium gives hydrazobenzene. Hydrazobenzene (X) contains \[\text{27}\sigma \] and \[6\pi \] bonds.
