The correct IUPAC name of the compound, ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_248e9aa17a93/img-033.jpeg)

A5, 6-Diethyl-8-methyldec-6-ene
B6-Butyl-5-ethyl-3-methyloct-4-ene
C5, 6-Diethyl-3-methyldec-4-ene
D2,4,5-Triethylnon-3-ene
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 5, 6-Diethyl-3-methyldec-4-ene
From the structure, the longest chain containing the double bond has $10$ carbon atoms, so the parent is $decene$. Numbering the chain to give the double bond the lowest locant places it at $4$, giving $dec ext{-}4 ext{-}ene$. With this numbering, the substituents are one methyl at $3$ and two ethyl groups at $5$ and $6$. Listing substituents alphabetically gives $5,6 ext{-}diethyl ext{-}3 ext{-}methyldec ext{-}4 ext{-}ene$. Comparing with the options, this matches option $C$.
