Solution
The correct option is C
Propane-1,3-dioic acid
There are two −O||C−OH or carboxylic acid groups . Both of them should get the lowest possible numbers. Hence there is only one way of numbering.
word root = prop primary suffix = ane secondary suffix = dioicacid (since there are two carboxylic acid groups) Hence the IUPAC name is : propane -1, 3-dioicacid
Note : The word root 'prop'(-3 carbon atoms) is arrived at using carbon atoms which are part of the functional group.
