Naphthalene molecule

structure

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Naphthalene is a planar fused pair of regular hexagons. Lines drawn through the midpoint of the shared C-C bond in opposite directions meet the same atom at the same distance (each carbon has a corresponding carbon and each hydrogen a hydrogen on the opposite side), so naphthalene has a centre of symmetry (centre of inversion, Ci).
