Solution

The correct option is B

2,2,3-Trimethylpentane


Let's draw the structure of the following compounds.

2,3,4-Trimethylpentane

HH|C|5HH|C|4CH3H|C|3CH3H|C|2CH3CH3|C|1HH

Now, what do you mean by 1, 2, 3 and 4 carbons?

1 attached with only one carbon

2 attached with two carbons

3 attached with three carbons

4 attached with four carbons

Now, let us see the compound again.

HH|C|5HH|C|4CH3H|C|3CH3H|C|2CH3H|C|1HH

c11 c23 c33 c43 c51

2,2,3-Trimethylpentane



We can see that it contains all types of carbons. Hence this is the answer.
