Solution

The correct option is C 2-Butanol

Let us begin by numbering the longest chain. No matter which outer carbon we start with, the longest chain is 6 carbons long.

There are two methyl substituents. One is at carbon number 2 and another one is at carbon number 4. Hence, the name is 2, 4- dimethyl hexane.
