According to IUPAC nomenclature rules, when there are two substituents on the nitrogen atom, the substituent with higher priority is named first. In this case, the methyl group has higher priority over the isopropyl group. Therefore, the correct name is N-methyl-2-propanamine. Option A and B are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of substituent naming. Option D is incorrect as there is a correct name for this compound.
