Benzene is the simplest example of compound. i know the answer is aromatic but can someone explain why

Benzene is the simplest example of the aromatic compound 
Firstly, we want to explain what is the meaning of aromaticity?
the aromaticity is called on any compound which has cyclic shape and has a resonance. Resonance is delocalization of the electrons (which form the double bond) in the molecules, in other words, the double bond moves through the compound by the movement of electrons which leads to increasing the stability of the compound by this process which called resonance. The resonance may occur in open or cyclic compounds, and if it occurs in cyclic compounds, these compounds are called aromatic compounds. So, the benzene considered to be the simplest aromatic compound where it is not only has a resonance in a cyclic ring but also it was the first aromatic compound discovered and also, the most common aromatic compounds are derivatives of it (benzene). 

Answer:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

explanation:

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
