The IUPAC name of the given compound is

Solution
The correct option is A butane-2,3-diol
The word root of the compound is but as the parent chain has four carbon atoms. There are alcohol groups attached to the second and third carbon atoms of the parent chain. The suffix here is ol. Since there are two alcohol groups attached in the parent chain, we use diol as the suffix. Hence the IUPAC name is butane-2,3-diol.
