Solution
The correct option is B 5,6−diethyl−5−methyloctane
Shown below is the parent chain of the compound.
The word root here is oct as there are 8 carbons in the parent chain of the compound. There are 3 substituent groups - two ethyl groups at the fifth and the sixth carbon atoms and one methyl group at the fifth carbon atom. Thus the IUPAC name of the compound will be 5,6-diethyl-5-methyloctane.
