Squares R1C5 and R9C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <78>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C5 - removing <8> from <13468> leaving <1346>

R5C5 - removing <8> from <468> leaving <46>

R6C5 - removing <8> from <13468> leaving <1346>

R8C5 - removing <8> from <468> leaving <46>

Squares R5C5 and R8C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <46>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C5 - removing <46> from <1346> leaving <13>

R6C5 - removing <46> from <1346> leaving <13>

Intersection of block 5 with row 5. The values <468> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of block 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 5 cannot contain these values.
