The IUPAC name for the given structure can be written as 4-bromo-3,6,7-trimethyloct-1-ene. As per the IUPAC rules, the parent chain should have the maximum number of carbon atoms in it, and in this case, it is an eight carbon chain. The longest chain contains a double bond between carbon 1 and 2, and it is an octene. The substituents on the parent chain are numbered in such a way that they have the lowest carbon number. The first substituent is a bromo group at carbon 4, and the other two are methyl groups at carbons 3, 6, and 7. Hence, option C, 4-bromo-3,6,7-trimethyl-1-octene, is the correct IUPAC name for the given compound.
