Correct answer: Alkanone
Explanation: The structure shows a three-carbon chain with a carbonyl group (>C=O) on the middle carbon (i.e., CH3–CO–CH3). A carbonyl on an internal carbon gives a ketone (alkanone). An alkanal would have –CHO at the end, an alkanoate an –COO– linkage, and an alkanol an –OH group.
