Aromaticity

why is the correct answer: (c)? The compound has an sp3 carbon which means it is not planar, goes against the rules of aromaticity, doesn't it?

@ns It's a special case where in continuous ring current and flattened ring causes aromaticity even though a carbon interrupts in between

Not a problem It's an overkill for jee anyways dw Same thing if that sp3 vala carbon is replaced by something else, then it's heteroaromaticity
