Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

conjugated cumulene hydrocarbon is planar with alternating p-orbital overlap. π-bonds are formed by proper p–p overlap between adjacent carbons only, not between terminal carbons directly. Hence statement (B) is incorrect because C1 and C4 do not form π-bond with each other. Other statements about planarity and orbital overlap are correct.
