Solution

The correct option is B Bromoethane
When halogen functional group is attached to a hydrocarbon chain, the name of the resulting hydrocarbon is obtained by adding the first few letters of the attached halogen as a prefix to the parent hydrocarbon. Hence, the name of the above molecule is "Bromoethane".
