The following reasons can be considerd while choosing 1,3,5-trimethyl benzene as correct answer
-signal for 9Hs (singlet) of one chemical environment suggests the presence of three methyl groups symmetrically arranged in an aromatic ring.
-signal for 3Hs (singlet) of one chemical environment suggests the presence of three hydrogens arranged symmetrically on an aromatic ring.
-singlet further suugests there is no neighbouring proton.
Others a, b, and d are incorrect because
-As (A) possess 6 (3 Me and 3Hs) type of hydrogens, six signals must be obtained in the spectrum
-As (B) possess 4 type of Hs, 4 signals must be obtained in the spectrum
-As (D) also possess 4 type of Hs, 4 signals must be obtained in the spectrum
Therefore, the correct answer is (C)
