The name for compound given by Martije is CBr4 (carbon tetrabromide).
It stands that is one C and four Br atoms in the molecule. Hence the molecular formula must be CBr4. Now the name of CBr4 must be tetraboromomethane or carbon tetrabromide.
Since there is one C so we have to write only carbon; no need to write ‘mono’ term. Four Br atoms in the molecule can be written as tetrabromide. Hence D) CBr4(carbon tetrabromide) is correct.
