for the first one i was not sure as its a monomer i think, if you could help me in naming it pls?
Draw out the monomer, maybe it'd help for you to picture it?

Try to establish the longest chain.

and this question too, how is it C when it should have been B

Always look for the longest carbon chain.

It's b and d and it's c because the longest chains is all the c in the middle there 6 of them so hexane and the short count to get to each CH3 is 2 and then 4

B and d

could you pls explain, their are 5 carbons on the chain so that is pent

Sorry man i should have been clearer okay count 4 in the middle chain going from left to right and you will get to ethyl notice there are 2 carbons on the ethyl that mean the longest "chain of carbon" is hexane as it goes c-c-c-c in the middle then up 2 c-c in the ethyl to get the longest possible chain cool

Look again.

When it comes to naming, it doesn't make sense to count the C2H5\mathrm{C_2H_5} as an ethyl group. As it's bigger than CH3\mathrm{CH_3} it extends the chain and so you have a hexane alkane with alkyl groups attached.
does this make it easier?
i numbered the carbon chain
