1. Because of the delocalized π-electrons.
2. Because aromatic compounds are highly stable.
3. Because of the resonance present in aromatic compounds.
4. All of these reasons together.

Correct answer: All of these reasons together.

Solution

Aromatic compounds resist addition reactions because of the delocalization of π-electrons, resonance stabilization, and their overall high stability, making all the options correct.
