(a)
Interpretation:
The root for the given molecule is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In case of molecules containing a

Answer to Problem B.1P
The root for the given molecule is cyclohexene.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is
In this molecule, the largest ring containing the double bond has six carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cyclohexene, as shown below.
The root is determined from the longest carbon chain or the largest ring containing the double or triple bond between the carbon atoms.
