Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A IUPAC name is 2-amino-4- formyl-3-methyl hex-3-enoic acid.
B Degree of unsaturation is 3.
C It contain primary amine, aldehyde & carboxylic acid functional groups.

Correct statements regarding the given compound are A, B and C.
(A) IUPAC name is 2-amino-4- formyl-3-methyl hex-3-enoic acid.
The parent chain contains 6 carbon atoms and a $C=C$ double bond and a $COOH$ group. Hence, it is called hex-3-enoic acid.
One amino, one formyl and one methyl substituent are present.
(B) Degree of unsaturation is 3 as 3 double bonds are present. One is carbon carbon double bond, other is $C=O$ double bond of aldehyde group and one is $C=O$ double bond of $-COOH$ group.
(C) It contains primary amine aldehyde and carboxylic acid functional groups
(D) Number of carbon atom in parent chain is 6.
