Benzene undergoes substitution when reacted with Br2, as contrasted with other compounds containing  bonds where addition is the norm. What is the main reason for this behavior?
   
  1.addition would lead to non aromatic system
  2.substitution gives product of higher energy
  3.production of HBr results in the very stable byproduct
  4.aromatic systems react faster because the intermediate is stabilized by resonance
  5.the transition state of the first step is aromatic
