Butan-2-one
2-Butanone

Explanation:

What's with the ethyl, no ethyl, an ethyl would only work in one case:

I would call it:
Butan-2-one
2-Butanone, double bonded oxygen on the second Carbon

Or:
Methyl ethyl ketone, treating the methyl branch as #CH_3# coming off the ketone, treating the ethyl branch as #C_2H_5# coming off the ketone

I prefer the first one
