Nope, that is an enol or more likely a ketone.
Think about how dilute sulphuric acid reacts with C=C bonds.
Hint: carbonium ions.

Is there a methyl shift after the carbocation is made?

No migration required.
Have you been taught alkenes reactivity?

Yes, I forgot to get rid of double bond. I tried this structure for compound C:
It turns out the structures for A, B, and C are incorrect.
I also tried starting with 4-bromoheptane as suggested by a user from another forum. Also incorrect.

then try one of the other compounds like the other alkene you suggested way back near the start of this!

Two things, the structure seems as though it should have been a correct answer from the information given. Secondly, I thought the answer they were going for was more symmetrical. I am thinking of an ethylpentane.

You're right, it was 3-bromo-3-ethylpentane for compound A. Thanks for all the help guys!
