Answer:

2-ethyl-3-methylbut-2-ene

Explanation:

The whole idea of IUPAC nomenclature is to devise a universally accepted system of writing the name of a compound from its structure.

According to IUPAC nomenclature, the root of the compound is the longest carbon chain. The substituents are named in alphabetical order and in such a way as to give each one the lowest number. The position of the functional group is indicated accordingly.

For the compound in question, its correct IUPAC name is 2-ethyl-3-methylbut-2-ene.
