Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The longest carbon chain contains 7 carbons and has a double bond between carbons 2 and 3. The isopropyl group is attached to carbon 4 and there is a methyl group on carbon 5. The methoxy group is attached to carbon 4 as well, with the methyl group being on carbon 2. The double bond has an E configuration, so the correct name is (E)-4-isopropoxy-4,5-dimethylhex-2-ene.
