Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given problems, it is possible to apply the IUPAC rules to obtain the following names:

A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol because we have an ethyl radical at the fourth carbon and the beginning of the parent chain is on the Me (CH3) because it is closest to first OH.

B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-tert-butylphenol: because we start at the alcohol and have a chlorine atom on the second carbon, a methyl radical on the third carbon, a tert-butyl on the fifth carbon and the parent chain is benzene which is phenol as an alcohol.
