    Answer:

    a. The longest chain is chosen incorrectly.

    Explanation:

    Hello there!

    In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly draw the structural formula of the 1,3-Dimethylbutane:

    CH_3-CH_2-CH(CH3)-CH_2-CH_3

    Thus, we can see that the correct name should be 3-methylpentane since the longest chain was chosen incorrectly, as it must have five carbon atoms.

    Regards!
