Solution

The correct option is A True
$C H O$ is aldehyde functional group which must be identified, so suffix will be -al. Then Cl is the substituent which is located at the 3rd carbon atom. The longest chain is of 3 $C$ atoms, so the prefix is prop-. Hence the IUPAC name will be 3-chloropropanal
