    No disk available to reinstall MacOS

    I was preparing my iMac for resale and must have erased something critical. When I try to install MacOS in recovery mode (the only option right now it is giving me is High Sierra), there is no disk to put it on. I am attaching a picture of the disc utility screen. Can anyone help?
