b. 4

c. 3

d. 2

Explanation:

How many constitutionally isomeric monochlorination products are possible from the following?

a. 2-Methylpentane

In 2-methylpentane, there are five possible monochlorinated substitutional products in the reaction of chlorination of 2-methylpentane in the presence of sunlight.

b. In 3-methylpentane there are four possible monochlorinated substitutional products in the reaction of chlorination of 3-methylpentane in the presence of sunlight.

c. In 2,2-Dimethylbutane there are three possible monochlorinated substitutional products in the reaction of chlorination of 2,2-Dimethylbutane in the presence of sunlight.

d. In 2,3-Dimethylbutane there are two possible monochlorinated substitutional products in the reaction of chlorination of 2,3-Dimethylbutane  in the presence of sunlight.
