In the structure of 4-isopropyl-2,4,5-trimethylheptane, identify the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary carbons

Question

The classifications of the carbon as primary secondary tertiary and quaternary depends on the number of the carbon atoms attached to a carbon. In case, the carbon is attached to a single carbon, then it is referred as primary carbon. If the carbon is attached to two carbons, then it is referred as the secondary carbon, if the carbon is attached to three carbons then it is referred as tertiary, and if the  carbon forms all the bond with another carbon atom then it is referred as quatenary carbon.

The structure for this question is attached. I think the correct answer would be the fourth option. The common name of the structure would be ethyl isobutyl ketone. Other name would be 2-methyl-3-pentanone. It has a chemical formula of C7H14O or (CH3)2CHCH2C(O)CH2CH3. It is classified as an aliphatic ketone and is used as a solvent and a reagent in laboratory experiments. It is a VOC or volatile organic compound. This compound can also be found at times in normal human biofluids and in feces for about 25% of the population. At normal conditions, it exists as a solid compound.
