The IUPAC name of the given compound is :

  • A. 3-cyclopropane-1-propene
  • B. 3-cyclopropyl-1-propene
  • C. 3-cyclopropyl-2-propene
  • D. 3-cyclopropane-2-propene

Step-by-step solution

The parent chain is propene with the double bond at C1 (lowest locant). The cyclopropyl substituent is attached at C3, so the name is 3-cyclopropyl-1-propene. 'Cyclopropane' would indicate a parent ring, not a substituent, and '2-propene' is incorrect numbering.
