Detailed Solution

It is given to find out the number of structural isomers which can be obtained theoretically on monochlorination of 2-methylbutane. 
Explanation

1-chloro-3-methyl butane i.e. CH3-CHCH3-CH2-CH2Cl, 2-chloro-2-methyl butane i.e. CH3-C(Cl)(CH3)-CH2-CH3, 1-chloro-2-methyl butane i.e. CH2Cl-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3, 2-chloro-3-methyl butane i.e. CH3-CHCH3-CHCl-CH3 are the four structural isomers that can be theoretically obtained upon monochlorination of 2-methylbutane.
Thus, (D)4 is the correct answer.
