Answer:

A. Neopentane.

B. 2,2-dimethyl-propane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given compound we can spell out two possible names:

A. Neopentane: it is, because the molecule has five carbon atoms wherein there is a central one, bonded to the other four.

B. 2,2-dimethyl-propane: it is, because we find two methyl radicals at the second carbon.

Regards.
