Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

The IUPAC name 1 - Amino - 1 - ethoxypropane is incorrect.
The parent compound is propan-1-amine as the amino group is at first carbon atom.
It also has an ethoxy substituent at the first carbon atom. Hence, it should be written as 1-ethoxypropan-1-amine.
