Best answer

Correct option (A) 7

Explanation:

a. C5 H10 = 1 DU. It can be cyclic and can be alkene.

Therefore, total cyclic and stereoisomers = 7

If it is alkene:

Other alkene structures :

Total Number of cyclic, acyclic, and stereoisomers is 13. However, in the problem only cyclic structural and stereoisomers have been asked. So the total number of isomers would be seven.
