Canonical structures of anilinium ion obtained by accepting a proton are given below. Choose the correct statements.


- Anilinium ion has two stable canonical structures I and III.
- II is not an acceptable structure because carbonium ion is less stable.
- Only I and III are acceptable aromatic canonical structures since II is non-aromatic.
- Anilinium ion has three stable canonical structures I, II and III.
Answer
(C) Only I and III are acceptable aromatic canonical structures since II is non-aromatic.
