Best answer
Correct Answer - C
The compound is a dihydric alcohol. Thus, it should be named as alkanediol. The numbering is done from the side closer to the `CH_(3)` group.
`overset(5)(CH_(3))underset(2-"Methylpentane-2,4-diol")(underset(OH)underset(|)overset(4)(CH)overset(3)(CH_(2))underset(OH)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(2|)(C)-overset(1)(CH_(3))`
