Enthalpy of hydrogenation of  =-119.5kj/mol

                   (having one double bond)

The Enthalpy of hydrogenation of =3\times -119.5\, kj/mol

(having three double bond) =-358.5, kj/mol

R.E = Theoretical enthalpy - Actual enthalpy

-150.4 = -358.5 -Actual enthalpy of hydrogenation of benzene

Actual enthalpy of

hydrogenation of benezene = = -208.1kj / mol

Option (1) is correct answer
