**Explanation:**

The structure depicted is a linear carbon chain with a side chain:

- The main chain consists of nine carbon atoms (nonane).
- There is a butyl group attached to the third carbon of the main chain from the left.

To name the compound accurately:

1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.
2. Number the carbons in the main chain starting from the end nearest the substituent.
3. Locate and name the substituent.
4. Combine the names with appropriate punctuation.

Fill in the box with the correct IUPAC name using these steps.
