Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(c)

                                       1,2-dichlorocyclopentane

Step 1: 1,2-dichlorocyclopentane

Cyclopentane is an organic compound comprising five carbon atoms arranged in the form of a ring. Dichloro suggests the presence of two chlorine atoms at the first and secondpositions.

Step 2: Skeletal structure of 1,2-dichlorocyclopentane

The skeletal structure of 1,2-dichlorocyclopentane representing the two chlorine atoms at the one and second position is as shown:
