Structures that represent 2-methylbutan: a, b, c, d.

a - because methyl group is closer to the right end of butane chain, numbers go from right to left in butane and methyl is on second carbon.

b - because methyl group is closer to the left end of butane chain, numbers go from left to right in butane and methyl is on second carbon.

c - longest chain is butane, from one CH₃ to another CH₃.

d - same as a).
