Expert Solution
Step 1

The molecule contains only single bonds, hence, it is an alkane.  The longest carbon chain in the molecule consists of five carbon atoms.  Hence, the parent chain is pentane.  Two methyl substituents (-CH3) are present at second and fourth carbon atoms.  Hence, di- is added as prefix for the substituent name.
