The given name is:
In this compound, the root is butane. The longest continuous carbon chain contains four carbon atoms. A chlorine and a fluorine atom are attached to the C1 carbon atom of the root. The structure of the molecule without considering its stereochemistry is:
There is one chiral carbon at C1 in the above molecule. The required configuration at the chiral carbon atom is R.
At C1 carbon atom, the four substituents are:
Applying the first tiebreaker,
In the given structure, the top-three priority substituents are arranged in a clockwise manner.
Thus, in order to maintain this arrangement at the C1 carbon atom, the fourth priority substituent must be attached by a dash bond and the Cl atom must be attached by a wedge bond. Therefore, the correct structure for

(b)
Interpretation:
The structure for the given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has a higher priority. In the case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets the higher priority. When the fourth priority substituent is pointing away (it is attached by a dash bond) and the first, second and third priority substituents are arranged clockwise, the configuration is R. When the fourth priority substituent is pointing away (it is attached by a dash bond) and the first, second and third priority substituents are arranged counterclockwise, the configuration is S. If the fourth priority substituent is attached by a wedge bond, then the clockwise or counterclockwise arrangement of the first, second and third priority substituents is determined and that arrangement is reversed before assigning R or S. If the fourth priority substituent is in the plane of the page, then it is switched with the substituent that points away. Then the clockwise or counterclockwise arrangement of the first, second and third priority substituents is determined and that arrangement is reversed before assigning R or S. When writing the IUPAC name, the R or S designation is written in parenthesis for each asymmetric carbon atom and hyphens are used to separate those designations from the rest of the IUPAC name.
