Solution

The correct option is D 3-pentanone

The given compound can be numbered as above. There are five carbon atoms in the parent chain. So, word root here would be 'pent'.

A ketone group $C=O$ is present at the third carbon atom. So, the suffix would be '3-one'.

Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is pentan-3-one.
