The wrong statement about fullerene is:

AIt has $$5-$$membered carbon ring
BIt has $$6-$$membered carbon ring
CIt has $$sp^{2}$$ hybridization
DIt has $$5-$$membered rings more than $$6-$$membered rings
Correct Answer

Solution

Fullerene consists of $$12$$ five-membered rings and $$20$$ six-membered rings. So it has five-membered rings less than six-membered rings.

Hence, the correct option is $$D$$
