Solution

The correct option is C acrylonitrile
The compound is more widely known as acrylonitrile $(H_{2} C = C H - C \equiv N)$ , and its preferred IUPAC name is Prop-2-ene-nitrile. It contains 3 carbon atoms, hence the prefix is prop-, and the -ene postfix is due to the double bond. It is nitrile, since it contains the nitrile functional group, i.e., $(R - C \equiv N)$ .
