MCQ
Three fused benzene rings are found in
  • A
    Naphthalene
  • Anthracene
  • C
    Phenanthroline
  • D
    Triphenyl methane

Answer

Correct option: B.
Anthracene
b
Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ($PAH$) of formula $C _{14} H _{10}$ consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar. 

Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes.

Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue $(400-500\, nm$ peak) fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation
