The IUPAC name of the alkene is (d) 2, 3-dimethyl-2-pentene

Explanation:

From question, the chemical equation of the reaction is attached in the image below.

C₃H₆O + C₄H₈O → C₇H₁₄

CH₃                         CH₃

       \              /

             C = C

        /             \

CH₃                          CH₂ - CH₃

For IUPAC naming, the carbon atoms in the linear chain should be numbered.

There are 5 carbon. Thus, it is 'pentane'.

It has double bond. Thus, 'pentene'.

The bond is attached between second and third carbon atoms. Thus, '2-pentene'.

The methyl group is attached to both second and third carbon atoms. Thus, '2, 3-dimethyl'.

Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound is 2, 3-dimethyl-2-pentene.
