Answer:

4-iodo-3,3-dimethylpentan-2-ol

Step-by-step explanation:

CH₃ - CH(I) - C(CH₃)₂- CH(OH)-CH₃

since OH is to be given preference it should have the lowest number therefore it should be numbered right to left

the 3rd carbon contains 2 methyl groups thus we name it dimethyl

and the parent chain contains 5 carbons thus we give the parent prefix pentan
