Answer:
C. 1-ethyl, 3-methylcyclohexane
(Photo for proof at the bottom.)
Explanation:
The 1-ethyl is because you start numbering from the longest branch, towards the next closest branch. Prefix "eth-" means two, there are 2 carbons in the longest branch. 3-methyl is because the next branch is at number 3, and prefix "meth-" means 1, there is 1 carbon in that chain. "Cyclo" in cyclohexane means the skeletal model is shaped like a ring, and the "hexane" means there are 6 carbons in the ring. Prefix "hex" means 6.
