The correct answer is: homo-cyclic but not aromatic

C6H6Br2:-

Double bond equivalent formula = C-H2-X2+1

C=6; H=6;X=2

DBU=6-62-22+1=6-4+1=3

So, it has one ring with two double bonds. It has the two bromo groups at the 1,4 position and has the six membered carbon ring with non-conjugated double bond.

Hence, the structure of compound is :-

.

Hence, the above compound is homo-cyclic but not aromatic.
