The best I can draw with these tools :)
If you can't read the whole question just place the pointer at the "..." and a little box with the full text will appear (...-propanediol)

methyl means it has a methyl group attached. A methyl group is a CH3. Propyl means it has a propyl group attached, or CH3-CH2-CH2. Both of these are attached to the second carbon in the chain.Something else is on carbons 1 and 3, but the question does not show enough information to finish.
