Answer:

A. CH3NH2.

The name methylamine is telling us that we have 1 carbon (because of the prefix that indicates the number of carbons) that is bonded to an amine. Remember that nitrogen can be bonded three times and carbon four times:

This structure can be written as CH3NH2, so the answer would be A. CH3NH2.
