Answer:
a. Isopropyl pentanoate.

Hello,
In this case, such esterification is:
Wherein the first reactant is the pentanoic acid, the second one the isopropanol and the first product is the result, which is a. isopropyl pentanoate. This is because the isopropyl get separated from the hydroxile and bonds with the carboxile group of the pentanoic acid by also releasing water as the byproduct.
