Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has two substituents, both groups on the same carbon, which makes it a geometric isomer. The "trans" prefix indicates that the two groups are on opposite sides of the double bond. The correct numbering of the carbons gives us the name "4,5-dimethyl" and the ending "ene" indicates that it is an alkene with a double bond between carbons 2 and 3. Choice D matches this description.
