  • $6,4,5$
  • B
    $4,5,6$
  • C
    $5,4,6$
  • D
    $6,2,1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$6,4,5$
a
Benzene contains $6$ secondary carbon atoms.

$o$-xylene contains $4$ secondary carbon atoms, $2$ primary carbon atoms and $2$ tertiary carbon atoms.

Toluene contains $5$ secondary carbon atoms, $1$ primary carbon atom and $1$ tertiary carbon atom.

A primary carbon atom is attached to only one other carbon atom.

A secondary carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms.

A tertiary carbon atom is attached to three other carbon atoms

A quaternary carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms.
