Which outcome occurs when the molecular orbitals in butadiene overlap?

💡 Explanation

A stabilized conjugated pi system will occur because the delocalization from the molecular orbital overlap allows electrons increased freedom, leading to stability. Therefore, the correct answer is A, rather than B, C, or D which describe destabilizing effects.
