Solution

The correct option is A 1,1-Dichloro-3-methylhexane
The longest chain contains 6 carbons. Hence the word root 'hex' will be used. Since it's a saturated hydrocarbon the suffix 'ane' will be used. Halogen group gets preference and both chlorine atoms are attached with the first carbon. Therefore, the given compound is 1,1- Dichloro- 3- methylhexane.
