Answer:

2. Due to the possession of resonance

Explanation:

In the benzene ring, the electrons that results in the bonds between the carbon atoms are delocalized. That is, they do not belong to a specific carbon atom. It is this unique feature that enables them to have a bond length between single and double bond lengths.

This feature is as a result of resonance.

The correct option is 2.
