Answer Details
The hydrogenation of C6H6 is a reaction in which hydrogen gas is reacted with benzene in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This reaction is an example of an addition reaction. In this reaction, the carbon-carbon double bond present in benzene is broken and replaced by single carbon-carbon bonds, and each carbon atom forms a single bond with a hydrogen atom. The product of the reaction is cyclohexane, which has the molecular formula C6H12. Therefore, the answer is option (C) C6H12.
