Solution

The correct option is B Hexan-2-one
The numbering of the carbons in the main chain will start from the right due to the presence of a functional group to the right. The functional group ketone has higher priority than alkene. Since the ketone is in the 2nd position from the right, the name of the hydrocarbon is Hexan-2-one.
