Number of hyperconjugating structure in given compound are :

structure

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The only α-carbons are the two bridgehead carbons (one H each). A hyperconjugative structure from a bridgehead C-H would put a double bond at the bridgehead of a small bicyclic ring, which Bredt's rule forbids.

So the number of hyperconjugating structures = 0.
