B Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct as we know that aprotic solvents do not have replaceable hydrogen in them and are non-polar or very weakly polar non-dissociated liquid which do not solvate strongly. Like Hydrocarbons, C6H6 maintains all these properties and is an aprotic solvent.
