Answer

Benzoxyethane or benzyl ethyl ether or (ethoxymethyl) benzene.

There is a benzoxy group attached to the ethane chain so it is called benzoxyethane. It can be called benzyl ethyl ether because there is a benzyl and an ethyl group attached to the O. Moreover, it can be called (ethoxymethyl) benzene as there is a ethoxy and a methyl group attached to the benzene group.
