Squares R5C4 and R5C5 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C2 - removing <69> from <13469> leaving <134>

R5C6 - removing <69> from <169> leaving <1>

R5C8 - removing <69> from <3469> leaving <34>

Squares R5C2 and R8C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <34>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C2 - removing <3> from <1369> leaving <169>

R6C2 - removing <4> from <1469> leaving <169>

Squares R5C4 and R5C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C6 - removing <69> from <2679> leaving <27>

R6C4 - removing <69> from <2679> leaving <27>

Squares R4C6 and R4C9 in row 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <27>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.
