Solution

The correct options are
A It is a dialkylamine.
C Its IUPAC name is N-methylaminoethane.
Since two alkyl groups are present, thus dialkylamine.
Since there are only 2 alkyl groups, hence secondary amine but not tertiary amine.
Since longest carbon chain has 2 carbon, and there is methyl substituted amine, hence IUPAC name of substituted amine is N-methylaminoethane.
