You count the long possible chain and not the straight chain. The longest chain there is 6(hexane). Not counting the functional group. The iupac name is 3,5 dimethyl hexagon-3-ene. Pls verify answers before u post

identify the longest chain and start counting the carbon from the closest of d functional group which was ene (double bond) in this question

1. Identify the longest chain containing the double bond
From the diagram, the longest continuous chain that includes the C=C has 6 carbon atoms β†’ hexene
So the parent name is: hex-ene
2. Number the chain to give the double bond the lowest number
Numbering from the left gives the double bond between C-3 and C-4
β†’ hex-3-ene
3. Identify substituents
At C-2 β†’ a methyl (CH₃) group
At C-4 β†’ another methyl (CH₃) group
So we have: 2,4-dimethyl
4. Combine everything
Final name: 2,4-dimethylhex-3-ene
Correct answer: C. 2,4-dimethylhex-3-ene

Plz the Ans is A,.CH2 and CH3 gives C2H5 which is the ethyl grp. So you should not count them as two diff Carbon atoms
