An HDMI cable. Your laptop has an hdmi port and the monitor has an hdmi port.– KaitoCommented Jan 15, 2019 at 15:53

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not asking for a computer hardware recommendation. Cable identification is outside the scope of this site.– CfinleyCommented Jan 15, 2019 at 22:50

The ports pictured are: Left (almost out of picture) - HDMI Middle - DVI Right - VGA
Your laptop has HDMI and VGA ports.
Cables usually have the same type of connector on both ends, but you can get different ones, and there are adapters the can change the connector at one end. So you could use quite a wide variety of cables.
However, the simplest, best quality and most future-proof option would be a standard HDMI cable.
