Only one of the following is the correct name for an organic compound. Which is it?


A. 2-ethylhexane

B. 4-methylheptane

C. 3-propylheptane

D. 5-ethyloctane


Solution: We need to draw out each molecule according to the name given. We then check if there is a longer continuous carbon chain and if the chain is numbered from the end closest to the first substituent.
