This molecule in the question presents 6 Carbons in its main chain, counting only the carbons in the middle, which makes it a Hexane molecule. Besides the main chain carbons, we also have two methyl groups linked to carbons 2 and 3, counting from left to right. Therefore the final name will be:

2,3-dimethylhexane. Letter C
