The structure of the hydrocarbon reveals that it is saturated open chain hydrocarbon.

so its suffix name is 'ane'

It has 10 C-atoms in its longest chain. So its stem/root name is 'dec'

It has got three #CH_3-# ,methyl groups as substituent at positions 3,4,5.and one #C_2H_5-#,ethyl group at position 7.

Hence its complete IUPAC name is

7-ethyl-3,4,5-trimethyldecane

(substituents are placed as the prefixes in alphabetical order)
