  • $5 −$ ethyl $−4, 4−$dimethyl decane.
  • B
    $4 −$ ethyl $4, 5$ dimethyl decane.
  • C
    $3, 4−$ dimethyl $− 3 −$ Hexane.
  • D
    $6, 7−$ dimethyl decane.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$5 −$ ethyl $−4, 4−$dimethyl decane.
  1. $5 −$ ethyl $− 4, 4 −$ dimethyl decane.

Numbering should be started from right side. $2$ methyl and one ethyl groups are attached $C_4$​ and $C_5$ respectively.
So the $\text{IUPAC}$ name of this compound is $5 −$ ethyl $− 4, 4 −$ dimethyldecane.
