req.body.name is undefined error in node js

I am trying to read form-data sent using postman. Here is the code !!

var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app     = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.post('/action', function(req, res) {      
  res.send('You sent the name "' + req.body.name + '".');
});
app.listen(8074);

Output: You sent the name undefined

Why is the name not being printed ? I have followed all procedures in the net but couldn't find the answer ... Where am i wrong ??

Here is screenshot tells about what i do in postman

You've ticked the "form-data" box instead of the "x-www-form-urlencoded" box in Postman, but you've used the urlencoded body parser in your JS.

You need to match the body parser to the encoding method you use.
