Solution

Definition of IUPAC names
IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
Step 1
‘Prop’ means continuous chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms, here the chain is having 3 carbon atoms: $C - C - C$
Step 2
There is no substituent as such with the long chain
Step 3
The suffix ‘yne’ suggests a triple bond in unsaturated carbon is present in 1 position: $HC \equiv C - {CH}_{3}$
Therefore, the structure is $HC \equiv C - {CH}_{3}$
