Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound is a cyclic ether with six oxygen atoms, which forms a crown-like structure. The prefix "crown" is used to indicate such structures, followed by the number of oxygen atoms. Since there are six oxygen atoms in the compound, the correct name is 6-crown-3. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they have different numbers of oxygen atoms in the ring, and Option E is incorrect because it uses a non-standard name for the compound.
