Answer:

2,2-dimethylpropane

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the structure of the compound. You will get a carbon atom in center surrounded by 4 methyl groups. Now take one linear chain. It's propane derived because of 3 carbons. Now two methyl groups are attached to second carbon atom. So you will get 2,2-dimethylpropane
