The six p atomic orbitals combine to form 6 molecular orbitals. The correct option is A.
Molecular orbitals are the functions that tell the position of an electron in the orbital and the wave like property of the electron. This function is used to find the chemical and physical property of the element.
The six p atomic electrons will combine to constitute 6 molecular pi electrons. Because in benzene there are 6 pi orbitals. As benzene is planar, hexagonal and have sp2 hybridization. The remaining cyclic orbitals overlap to create 6 pi molecular orbitals.
Thus, the correct option is A. 6.
