Squares R4C7 and R6C7 in block 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <17>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C8 - removing <7> from <237> leaving <23>

R4C9 - removing <7> from <2378> leaving <238>

R6C9 - removing <7> from <278> leaving <28>

Intersection of row 5 with block 5. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R4C6 - removing <3> from <123> leaving <12>

Intersection of column 4 with block 2. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R2C4 and R3C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.
