**Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here.**

Below, there is a skeletal structure of a chemical compound. The structure consists of a central carbon atom connected to three substituent groups. 

Graph/Diagram Analysis:
- The skeletal structure appears to be branched with three carbon atoms, one connected with a double bond to another.
- The central carbon has three bonds with hydrogen atoms (not explicitly shown) completing each backbone structure. 
- The specific arrangement of these bonds and atoms is crucial for the accurate naming of the compound.

To name the compound, use the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system. Below the structure, there are multiple options provided in the form of clickable buttons segmented into different parts of the name:
- Prefixes: options include "1,1-", "3-", "1-", "2-", "1,2-", "4-", and several others.
- Root names: options include "but", "pent", "meth", "hex", "prop", "eth".
- Side group and structure descriptors: options include "sec-", "cyclo", "tert-", "tri", "iso", "di".

Combining these options accurately will help you form the correct IUPAC name of the compound shown.
