The longest carbon chain has 6 carbons, which makes it hexene. There is a double bond between carbons 2 and 3, which is indicated as (E) because the higher priority groups (bromine and chlorine) are on opposite sides of the double bond. The bromine and chlorine are both on carbon 2, which is indicated with the prefix 2-bromo-3-chloro. Finally, there is a methyl group on carbon 5, which is indicated with the prefix 5-methyl. Therefore, the correct name is (Z)-2-Bromo-3-chloro-5-methyl-2-hexene.
