First, let’s fix that messy structure: CH3CHCH3CHCLCHCH3CH2CH3. Now, number it correctly for IUPAC: CH3CH(CH3)CH2C(Cl)H(CH3)CH2CH3. That’s 2,4-dimethyl-3-chlorohexane. The correct answer is A, because when you line it up and follow the rules, the chloro and methyl groups dictate the numbering for the lowest possible numbers, making A the only choice that matches the structure when done properly.
