The correct answer is:
5-chloro-4-fluoro-4, 5-dimethylnon-7-en-3-ol
The longest chain has nine carbon atoms.
The chain has a hydroxy group at $\mathrm{C}-3,-\mathrm{F}$ and $-\mathrm{CH}_3$ at $\mathrm{C}-4,-\mathrm{Cl}$ and $-\mathrm{CH}_3$ at $\mathrm{C}-5$ and a $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ double bond at $\mathrm{C}-7$.
Thus, the IUPAC name will be :
5-Chloro-4-fluoro-4, 5-dimethyl non-7-en-3-ol
