Solution

The correct option is A 4-Oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid
This is a keto-substituted cyclic carboxylic acid and is named considering the C=O group as a substituent at the fourth position given that the carbon attached to the carboxyl carbon is C-1. thus the iupac name is 4-Oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid
