Solution

The correct option is D
5, 1, 2

The given compound has a cyclohexane ring with three substituents.

Where
A = - CH3 (methylgroup)
B = - OH (hydroxyl or alcohol group)
$| C = C H_{3} - C H - C H_{3} (i s o p r o p y l g r o u p)$

Clearly -OH is the principal functional group. The substituent C could be named in 2 ways

1. isopropyl

2. (1-methyl ethyl)

Either way, the carbon attached to -OH gets numbered 1. Substituents C and A will be numbered 2 and 5 respectively according to lowest set of locants rule. After numbering the carbon attached to -OH as '1', the numbering proceeds in a way to assign the lowest number to the carbon at which the first point of difference occurs.
