Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H (B r) - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$
Option A is correct.
There are numerous possible constitutional isomers of bromopentane. Specifically, the bromine atom can be attached to any of the carbon atoms (although there are only three unique possibilities because the 2 end carbons are identical). So you could have:
1-bromopentane (same molecule as 5-bromopentane, but lower number is used)
2-bromopentane (same molecule as 4-bromopentane, but lower number is used)
3-bromopentane
