Solution

The correct option is A

1-Fluoro-4-methyl-2-nitrobenzene


The compound is a derivative of benzene. The numbering starts from F atom and then the direction of numbering is chosen such that the next substituent gets the lowest number i.e. nitro group gets the second position and methyl gets the fourth position. The naming is done in alphabetic order.
