The name of the given ether.

c) 

In this compound, one group attached to O is para-bromo and the other group is methoxy. Thus, the name of the ether is p-Bromomethoxybenzene. The other name is p-Bromoanisole, here anisole group is \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{6}}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{OC}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}}\)

p-Bromomethoxybenzene
