Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aniline is an aromatic amine in which an amino group (-NH2) is attached to the benzene ring. The correct structure is shown in option II, which has the amino group (NH2) attached to the carbon 1 of the benzene ring (numbered as shown in the structure). Option A is incorrect because it shows a nitrogen (N) attached to the benzene ring instead of the amino group. Option C is incorrect because it shows the amino group attached to carbon 3 of the benzene ring. Option D is incorrect because it shows a carbon-carbon double bond in the benzene ring, which is not present in aniline.
