a. 1,4-dichlorobenzene p-dichlorobenzene
b. phenyldichloride
c. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene
d. 1,4-dichlorobenzene and phenyldichloride

Option C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

Explanation:

A line-angle formula with six vertices and a circle inscribed corresponds to the compound known as benzene.

Further, according to the IUPAC standards for naming benzene derivatives, you must first number the position of the substituent. In this case, the substituents (chloros) are located at the positions 1 and 4; also, for the benzene derivatives when they have 2 substituents and the positions are 1 and 4, this configuration is known as para or p configuration.

Additionally, this compound has 2 substituents (chloros) so you have to indicate this number (di).

Therefore, the correct answer is C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
