Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Amines Classification
Amines are classified based on the number of carbon groups attached to the nitrogen atom. A primary amine has one carbon group, a secondary amine has two, and a tertiary amine has three. This classification is crucial for naming and understanding the reactivity of amines in organic chemistry.

IUPAC Nomenclature
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature provides a systematic method for naming organic compounds. For amines, the name is derived from the longest carbon chain attached to the nitrogen, with the suffix '-amine' added. Understanding this system is essential for accurately naming the compounds shown in the question.

Common Names of Amines
Common names for amines often arise from their structure and can differ from IUPAC names. These names may include references to the alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen. Familiarity with common names helps in recognizing and communicating about amines in both academic and practical contexts.
