Bromine comes before fluorine alphabetically, so you should start numbering from Carbon atom bearing Bromine. Correct answer is C
aAphabetical order should be the consideration here but Myschool used total number of substituents on each terminal carbon as a criterion.
very hilarious 
you number from the carbon atom which contains bromine(alphabetical rule)
hence option C is the correct answer
numbering carbon start from the end closer to the substituents in alphabetical order. option c is correct
actually the correct answer is c when naming using alphabetical order as our major priority hence we start counting the carbon from the halide with the first alphabetical order
After solving it correctly in the video, bro still chosed the wrong ootion
LESSON.....always crosscheck answers in Jamb
by using the alphabetical order, the correct answer is C. make a correction myschool.
