Solution

The correct option is A 3-methyl cyclohexene
The numbering will start from double bond and the methyl group should also come under lower numbered carbon. The ring is of six carbon and double bond present, hence the name cyclo hexene and the methyl group is in 3rd position carbon. So the IUPAC name becomes 3-methyl cyclohexene.
