A) they do not have higher energy than their hybrid structure.So the answer to this question in my opinion is (a).

For example take benzene write it`s resonance structure, it`s energy and arrangement of atoms and no. Of elections will not change so option (a)

Answer is not a because draw the potential energy graph of resonating structure of benzene and hybrid structure of benzene. In graph hybrid structure shows low potential energy greater stability and resonating structure shows higher potential energy and low stability. And number of unpaired electrons remain same. Resonance have identical structure So answer is d. I hope all of you understood this.
