The IUPAC name for the following compound is:

![Image of Chemical Structure](CH3)

                                                              |
                   *   CH3 *C* - CH2CH2CHCH3
              *   CHCH3
                                           CH3CH3

- 2,5-diethyl-2-methylhexane

- 2-ethyl-2,5-dimethylheptane

- 3,3,6-trimethyloctane

- none of these

**Explanation:**
The image contains a chemical structure which depicts a hydrocarbon chain with various alkyl groups attached. The IUPAC naming system is used to give a unique name to this compound based on the number and position of carbon atoms and substituent groups within the molecule. The structure can be broken down as follows:
- A central carbon bonded to two ethyl groups (CH2CH3) and one methyl group (CH3).
- A side chain consisting of two methylene (CH2) groups.
- Then a continuation of a longer chain with
