The most likely protonation site in the following molecule is
C-1
C-2
C-3
C-6
A.
C-1
Addition of a proton at C1 results in the formation of tropylium carbocation (i.e. an aromatic species with more stability due to delocalisation of electrons), thus, it is the most reactive site towards protonation.
Addition of proton. at any other carbon atom, interupt in the delocalisation of electrons by disturbing planarity of molecules and hence, makes it less stable. Thus, these all are less reactive towards protonation.
