**Question:**

What is the correct name of this compound?

**Diagram:**
The structure depicted shows a molecule with four carbon atoms forming a straight chain. Attached to the second carbon atom (when counting from the left) is a bromine (Br) atom, indicated by a wedge to show that it is in a specific stereochemical configuration.

**Answer Choices:**
- R-2-bromopentane
- S-2-bromobutane
- S-2-bromopentane
- R-2-bromobutane

**Explanation of Diagram:**
The chemical structure displayed is a skeletal formula representing:
- A chain of four carbon atoms.
- A bromine atom attached to the second carbon, with a specific stereochemistry indicated by the wedge.

Students are required to name the compound based on its structure, including its stereochemical configuration (R or S) and the number of carbons in the chain (butane or pentane).
