Solution

The correct option is A True
The nomenclature of ester is done as:
$a l k y l$ $a l k a n o a t e$ , where $a l k y l$ is the part attached to oxygen of the ester group and $a l k a n e$ part is the one attached to carbon of this group.
Priority order is: Ester $>$ Ketone $>$ Nitro
Here $a l k y l$ is $m e t h y l$ and $a l k a n o a t e$ $b e n z o a t e$
Therefore IUPAC name is: $m e t h y l - 4 - a c e t y l - 2 - n i t r o b e n z o a t e$
