According to the naming layout shown in the figure, which sequence correctly represents the broad order of parts in an organic IUPAC name? ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_f02a6a6b36b3/img-000.jpeg)

ARoot word + prefix + secondary suffix + primary suffix
BPrefix(es) + root word + primary suffix + secondary suffix
CSecondary suffix + root word + prefix(es) + primary suffix
DPrimary suffix + prefix(es) + root word + secondary suffix
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Prefix(es) + root word + primary suffix + secondary suffix
The standard layout shown is: prefix(es) for substituents, then the root word for chain length, then the primary suffix for bond type, and finally the secondary suffix for the principal functional group. This is why option B matches the figure.
