Solution

The correct option is B

According to the IUPAC rules of nomenclature, the longest chain should be considered as the parent chain and others should be considered as the branches of the main chain. Let us begin by numbering the longest chain.

No matter which outer carbon we start with, the longest chain is 9 carbons long. Therefore the given organic compound has a parent chain which is 9 carbons long.
