(a)
This is a 3-carbon chain with a terminal group on C1 and a C2=C3 double bond. Numbering to give the lowest locants (amine gets priority for numbering as the principal characteristic group along with the double bond being included), the parent chain is prop-2-ene with the amine at C1.
IUPAC name: Prop-2-en-1-amine (common name: allylamine).
(b)
Here the central nitrogen atom bears three substituents: two ethyl () groups and one butyl chain (, i.e., a butan-1-yl/n-butyl group). This is a tertiary amine. Taking the longest chain attached to N (the butyl chain) as the parent (butan-1-amine) and naming the two ethyl groups on nitrogen as N-substituents:
IUPAC name: N,N-Diethylbutan-1-amine.
(c) Benzene ring with and (para to each other)
