You have to show your attempts at answering the question.

While the compound looks quite complicated it is actually not that hard, it is just a branched alkane, so few basic naming rules are all that is needed.

Your image doesn't show here.

This forum lets append images. It's in the "additional options" below the window used to enter the message text.

Above said window is also a button with a benzene symbol to enter the Smiles of a molecule that the forum will display, in this case:
CCC(C)CC(C)CC(CC(C)CC(C)CC)(CC(C)CC(C)CC)CC(C)CC(CC)CC

I typed CCC(C)CC(C)CC(CC(C)CC(C)CC)(CC(C)CC(C)CC)CC(C)CC(CC)CC within the Smiles command.
