According to the explanation given in the previous session, we have again a situation involving an Esther functional group, and the name we are looking for is Pentyl methanoate, therefore we have to look at a structure that has 1 carbon at one side of the oxygen, and 5 carbons on the other side of the oxygen, which is the letter A, that follows this rule.
