Explanation

CH3-NH2 is methylamine. According to IUPAC substitutive nomenclature, this is named as 'aminomethane' where -NH2 is the amino substituent on methane. 'Methyl amine' (A) is the common name, not systematic. 'Methanenitrogen hydride' (C) and 'Methyl amide' (D) are incorrect naming conventions.
