Understand the Problem

The question is asking which of the provided compounds, when subjected to catalytic hydrogenation, will produce 2-methylpentane. It assesses knowledge of organic chemistry reactions.

Answer

E) All of these choices.

The final answer is E) All of these choices.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is E) All of these choices.

More Information

Catalytic hydrogenation reduces alkenes to alkanes by adding hydrogen. All options contain alkenes capable of being reduced to 2-methylpentane.

Tips

A common mistake is thinking that only one specific alkene structure would work, while multiple ones can lead to the same saturated hydrocarbon.
