Parse the IUPAC name

The compound is 2,3-dibromo-1-phenylpentane.

Let us break it into parts:

• Parent chain: pentane $\Rightarrow$ a 5-carbon straight chain.
• Substituent at carbon 1: phenyl
• Substituents at carbons 2 and 3: bromo

Write the pentane chain with numbering

$\mathrm{C_1 - C_2 - C_3 - C_4 - C_5}$

Place the substituents

• At $C_1$: phenyl group $\left(\mathrm{C_6H_5-}\right)$
• At $C_2$: Br
• At $C_3$: Br

Construct the condensed structure

Start from carbon 1:

• $C_1$ is attached to phenyl and to $C_2$, so it is $\mathrm{CH_2Ph}$
• $C_2$ has Br, so it is $\mathrm{CH(Br)}$
• $C_3$ has Br, so it is $\mathrm{CH(Br)}$
• $C_4$ is $\mathrm{CH_2}$
• $C_5$ is $\mathrm{CH_3}$

Therefore the structure is:

$\mathrm{C_6H_5-CH_2-CH(Br)-CH(Br)-CH_2-CH_3}$

Match with the options

The correct option must represent:

$\boxed{\mathrm{Ph-CH_2-CHBr-CHBr-CH_2-CH_3}}$

This corresponds to Option C.
